To Whom It May Concern:

 

I am happy to write this testimonial letter for Gail King, RN. I have known Ms. King for 23 years and have great respect for her clinical

 knowledge and ethic.

 

Ms. King has had a distinguished career in both the public and private sector. For five years she worked for the Department of Public Health in Massachusetts. There her work included serving as a clinical surveyor of health care facilities, managing agency investigations and enforcement cases, and finally serving as Director of Survey Operations for all licensure and certification activities. After leaving government, Ms. King has taken on a variety of challenges, some of which were managing the quality assurance program of a large nursing home company, serving as the licensed nursing home administrator at several troubled SNFs and coordinating their turn- around, acting as the lead in a patient protection receivership case, working as a specialist consultant/educator for scores of facilities, and serving as an expert witness/consultant on numerous private litigation\matters.

Ms. King's breadth of knowledge of clinical and regulatory standards is extensive. Her practical experience as a clinician, regulator, and health care manager provide a unique and comprehensive perspective about the attainment and failures related to quality of care. Her extensive experience as an educator and public speaker make her an ideal candidate for training programs and forums.

I would enthusiastically recommend her to address any audience on any health care topic.

Sincerely,

David A. Roush, J.D. President and Founder, Roush & Associates, Inc.
