I look forward to having Joe as part of the HealthSTAR family -- his passion and drive makes him a perfect fit with our culture.""I'm thrilled to be joining HealthSTAR," said Tardibuono. "Even though it's a large organization and an industry powerhouse with more than $1.5 billion in revenue since inception in 2001, the company 'gets it' and is still able to take a 'clients first' approach. I'm particularly excited about the company's new proprietary technologies, and the rapidly growing nurse educator division, which have both been creating a lot of buzz in the market because they are ahead of the curve in this very evolving environment.""Most medical communications companies tend to forget what's most important – that every company, brand and therapeutic market is unique, and a strategic and customized approach is a must," Tardibuono added. "HealthSTAR's network of specialized companies not only provides a broad base of expertise, but also an opportunity for efficiencies that can lead to cost savings for the client," he said.
