Her leadership at Frontier Management culminated in the company being ranked third in the country for resident satisfaction by JD Power and Associates Senior Housing—a testament to her commitment to quality care.
Previously, Ms. Alcorn found success as the vice president of clinical and regulatory monitoring at Formation Healthcare Group from 2015 to 2017 after serving as their clinical and regulatory monitoring manager from 2012 to 2015.
