Building Utah

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Ten years ago, Utahns Jason Murray and Mark Hancock founded PACS, a post-acute health care company. In April PACS launched a successful IPO on the New York Stock Exchange and now has 275 facilities in 14 states. PACS’s VP of communication Brooks Stevenson tells us more. BROOKS STEVENSON: PACS is revolutionizing the delivery, leadership, and quality of post-acute care nationally. We started PACS because we felt there was a better way to provide quality care in the post-acute health care sector. And as we execute on our mission, we are making a tremendous difference in the lives of the most vulnerable population in our country. We’ve taken decades of hands-on experience in post-acute care and translated that into a model that greatly reduces administrative burdens for our leadership teams; we do the heavy lifting on the business side, which gives our local teams more time to focus on the care, well-being, and quality of life of their patients and their employee
