I have had the pleasure of knowing Justin for four years since starting with Kindred. More than being a colleague, he has been a friend and mentor to me. He is extremely knowledgeable, collaborative, and driven. Justin has been a valuable resource not only as a fellow Respiratory Therapist but as a leader. There has never been a moment that he has not been willing to help me with a problem or lend his advice. I appreciate Justin’s attention to detail, experience, and expertise he brings to Kindred Healthcare and our RT Directors as a group.
