Guillama continued, "We remain committed to continually seeking the providers who represent the essence of what we call 'the art and science of healthcare' -- a finely attuned knowledge of the latest technology and treatments, combined with compassion." A key component of the Company's strategic plan for development has been the adherence to creating quality networks of Providers. Barbara Roqueta, Vice President Provider Operations, noted, "As our Provider Specialist team markets our network to potential RHS Physicians, they find that these prospects are first intrigued by the mission and unique approach of Renaissance, and are quickly incentivized to become 'a part of the Revolution' once they see the list of Providers who have chosen to become affiliated with Renaissance." Roqueta further stated, "When the Doctors see some of the most highly respected physicians in this area 'on-board', they recognize RHS to be something special -- something they want to be a part of, too." The Company currently has five CHSs in development stages with over 600 providers along the east coast of Florida.
