“We provide the doctors; we have the space. Project Access makes sure that we get the most appropriate patients at the right time. In many respects, this is the way health care delivery should work for everyone. We know who they are, what they need, and when we’re going to do it, and what rehab they’re probably going to need. That’s a four- or five-step process that I’d like to have for all our patients. There is every reason in the world to do this. It is the right thing to do, and it’s the economic thing to do.”
