“Jeff Poulsen and Allison Brauer worked for me as CFO and CNO respectfully at Michigan Surgical Hospital for over 3 years. Jeff’s business acumen and detailed oriented mindset as it relates to finance and revenue cycle allowed us to be very successful given the tough reimbursement environment that we were in. His relationship with our surgeons created growth and his eye on cost containment created a profitable situation for our hospital. As CNO, Allison Brauer was responsibility for all clinical aspects of the hospital. Allison ensured that her team was survey ready every day, which created a safe and pleasant environment for our patients. During the time that I had oversight of the hospital, Allison led the hospital through a very successful Joint Commission survey. I would recommend both of these individuals in their respective areas as they complement each other in order to create a successful business within the healthcare space.”
