No catch.Grab your ticket at gainsightpulse.com and use code UNCHURNED for a special rate.When healthcare equipment goes down, healthcare goes down. That's the world Brad Casemore operates in — where a broken MRI or a failed sterilization unit isn't an inconvenience, it's a crisis.In this episode, Brad, Chief Customer & Growth Officer at PartsSource breaks down why merging the CCO and CGO roles actually makes sense.
