About Curaspan
Solve Difficult Problems – In 2001, Curaspan rolled out the first ever automated solution to a very complicated problem—how to streamline and improve the fax, phone, paper-based and highly regulated process of discharging and transitioning patients from hospitals.
Work With Quality People – None of our strategies work without exceptional people to implement them. We maintain a team of exceptional people by sticking to our core values. (from https://connect.curaspan.com/about-us/)
About Tom Ferry
Tom Ferry has led Curaspan from concept to industry leader since its inception in 1999.

Before founding Curaspan, he was the VP of business development for American Hearing Centers, where he helped triple the company’s growth through strategic acquisitions. He also held a senior business-development role at Thermo Electron Corporation and led the international Specialty Chemicals Business, a division of Monsanto. He earned a BA in Chemistry from Cornell University and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
