He has spent the last two years as a management consultant leveraging his skills in strategy and change management.
“I feel health care is the number one economic issue for developed countries,” Boomert says, “and it is my belief this is best managed from the front end of the health system. ProCare has the scale, credibility and committed membership to deliver this well.”
