“When I think about the past 15 years, I am honored to have worked with such a wonderful team, who continually put our customers first. Together, we have become trusted partners who have grown by winning and retaining our MAC contracts. As I think about the future, I know that we have the right people in place to continue our success. Throughout Harvey’s tenure, he’s helped our corporate performance reach historic highs, and has been instrumental in developing and driving our customer focused culture throughout the GuideWell Source Family of Companies,” Coston said.
