He is a tremendous addition to our team." "I'm thrilled to join Evolution1," said Deshaies. "In a time of continued unrest and speculation in the healthcare industry, Evolution1 continues its record-breaking performances because of its Partners and a shared vision to reduce costs and simplify healthcare. I look forward to bringing my experience and expertise to such an impressive organization and to working with its dedicated Partners."
