In celebration of National Nurses Week (May 6-12), Altais is highlighting four members of our network. Each of them uses their nursing training to accomplish different facets of Altais’s mission: to elevate the experiences of independent physicians, their clinical teams and – ultimately – their patients. The nursing profession plays an invaluable role in the success of healthcare delivery in all settings. We applaud these dedicated professionals and are honored to introduce them to you.

Don Stanley, R.N.
Vice President of Clinical Operations, Brown & Toland Physicians
“I became interested in medicine while I was in the military. I was attracted to the complexity and flexibility within the field,” said Don Stanley, R.N. and vice president of clinical operations at Brown & Toland Physicians. Don sees an opportunity for interoperability within current health systems, minimizing duplicate information and making operations more intuitive for both clinicians and patients. In his 30+ years of medical management systems, he is still drawn to the challenge of problem-solving.
