Pioneered the Linear Services Model
The Linear Service Model is a step-by-step process used to serve patients in a consistent and effective manner, allowing for meaningful measurability for the purpose of improving quality of care. Armed with this process, CompassCare became one of the most effective pregnancy centers in the nation at reaching women seriously considering abortion and serving them in a way that helped them carry their babies to term.
