“Kathy has a natural gift, and many years of experience, in working with and building bonds with physicians, group leadership and hospital C-suites. She builds trust almost immediately. She is great at maintaining and growing relationships that sustain business, and she is equally adept at dropping into “hot spots.” She gets everyone to focus on solutions – especially solutions that not only fix the problem but drive enhanced group cohesiveness/ contract stability. Working with Kathy Valli is an investment with immediate returns. You will quickly realize the impact of Kathy's contribution, and you're going to wonder how your group lived without her."
