Today's guest is Gregory A. White, CPA. the CEO of Lamprey Health Care. Lamprey Health Care is a federally qualified health clinic (FQHC) with locations in New Hampshire: Nashua, Raymond, and Newmarket. Federally qualified health clinics are community-based healthcare providers that provide primary care and a range of other services to clients regardless of ability to pay. As a result they are often safety net care providers in a community.
In this podcast Greg tells us about his journey from being an auditor in a public accounting firm to a career in healthcare, coming up through the finance and accounting side of healthcare delivery organizations. One of the unique aspects of Lamprey Health Care is each of its locations are in very different communities.
This podcast was guest-hosted by University of New Hampshire students Regan Judge and Caroline Sweny.
