"Tyler & Company guided us through a seemingly daunting task [our recent CEO search], making it a positive journey for all. The company's knowledge and understanding of the healthcare industry and its executive leadership, coupled with its protocols and procedures, were all important facets of this successful search. The company allowed us to focus on the candidates with the assurance that 'no stone had been left unturned.' Together, we found the best person to build on FirstHealth's history and to guide us into these challenging times in healthcare."
