In his eight years leading Solis, Polfreman led many accomplishments with the company including increasing the company’s earnings by more than tenfold, creating a patient-centric culture embodied by the company’s more than 1,000 dedicated team members, and establishing Solis’ current position of operational and financial strength. The company is on a strong growth trajectory and has the leadership team and purpose-driven team members to succeed through the continued provision of high-quality and patients-first service.
