Elon Musk’s minions—from trusted sidekicks to random college students and former Musk company interns—have taken over the General Services Administration, a critical government agency that manages federal offices and technology. Already, the team is attempting to use White House security credentials to gain unusual access to GSA tech, deploying a suite of new AI software, and recreating the office in X’s image, according to leaked documents obtained by WIRED.

Some of the same people who helped Musk take over Twitter more than two years ago are now registered as official GSA employees. Nicole Hollander, who slept in Twitter HQ as an unofficial member of Musk’s transition team, has high-level agency access and an official government email address, according to documents viewed by WIRED. Hollander’s husband, Steve Davis, also slept in the office. He has now taken on a leading role in Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Thomas Shedd, the recently installed director of the Technology Transformation Services within GSA, worked as a software engineer at Tesla for eight years. Edward Coristine, who previously interned at Neuralink, has been onboarded along with Ethan Shaotran, a Harvard senior who is developing his own OpenAI-backed scheduling assistant and participated in an xAI hackathon.

“I believe these people do not want to help the federal government provide services to the American people,” says a current GSA employee who asked not to be named, citing fears of retaliation. “They are acting like this is a takeover of a tech company.”

The team appears to be carrying out Musk’s agenda: slashing the federal government as quickly as possible. They’re currently targeting a 50 percent reduction in spending for every office managed by the GSA, according to documents obtained by WIRED.

There also appears to be an effort to use IT credentials from the Executive Office of the President to access GSA laptops and internal GSA infrastructure. Typically, access to agency systems requires workers to be employed at such agencies, sources say. While Musk's team could be trying to obtain better laptops and equipment from GSA, sources fear that the mandate laid out in the DOGE executive order would grant the body broad access to GSA systems and data. That includes sensitive procurement data, data internal to all the systems and services GSA offers, and internal monitoring software to surveil GSA employees as part of normal auditing and security processes.

The access could give Musk’s proxies the ability to remote into laptops, listen in on meetings, read emails, among many other things, a former Biden official told WIRED on Friday.

“Granting DOGE staff, many of whom aren't government employees, unfettered access to internal government systems and sensitive data poses a huge security risk to the federal government and to the American public,” the Biden official said. “Not only will DOGE be able to review procurement-sensitive information about major government contracts, it'll also be able to actively surveil government employees.”

The new GSA leadership team has prioritized downsizing the GSA’s real estate portfolio, canceling convenience contracts, and rolling out AI tools for use by the federal government, according to internal documents and interviews with sources familiar with the situation. At a GSA office in Washington, DC, earlier this week, there were three items written on a white board sitting in a large, vacant room. “Spending Cuts $585 m, Regulations Removed, 15, Square feet sold/terminated 203,000 sf,” it read, according to a photo viewed by WIRED. There’s no note of who wrote the message, but it appears to be a tracker of cuts made or proposed by the team.

“We notified the commercial real estate market that two GSA properties would soon be listed for sale, and we terminated three leases,” Stephen Ehikian, the newly appointed GSA acting administrator, said in an email to GSA staff on Tuesday, confirming the agency’s focus on lowering real estate costs. “This is our first step in right-sizing the real estate portfolio.”

The proposed changes extend even inside the physical spaces at the GSA offices. Hollander has requested multiple “resting rooms,” for use by the A-suite, a team of employees affiliated with the GSA administrator’s office.

On January 29, a working group of high-ranking GSA employees, including the deputy general counsel and the chief administrative services officer, met to discuss building a resting room prototype. The team mapped out how to get the necessary funding and waivers to build resting rooms in the office, according to an agenda viewed by WIRED.

After Musk bought Twitter, Hollander and Davis moved into the office with their newborn baby. Hollander helped oversee real estate and office design—including the installation of hotel rooms at Twitter HQ, according to a lawsuit later filed by Twitter executives. During the installation process, one of the executives emailed to say that the plans for the rooms were likely not code compliant. Hollander “visited him in person and emphatically instructed him to never put anything about the project in writing again,” the lawsuit alleged. Employees were allegedly instructed to call the hotel rooms “sleeping rooms” and to say they were just for taking naps.

Hollander has also requested access to Public Buildings Service applications; PBS owns and leases office space to government agencies. The timing of the access request lines up with Ehikian’s announcement about shrinking GSA’s real estate cost.

Musk’s lieutenants are also working to authorize the use of AI tools, including Google Gemini and Cursor (an AI coding assistant), for federal workers. On January 30, the group met with Google to discuss Telemetry, a software used to monitor the health and performance of applications, according to a document obtained by WIRED.

A-suite engineers, including Coristine and Shaotran, have requested access to a variety of GSA records, including nearly 10 years of accounting data, as well as detailed records on vendor payments, purchase orders, and revenue.

The GSA takeover mimics Musk’s strategy at other federal agencies like the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Earlier this month, Amanda Scales, who worked in talent at Musk’s xAI, was appointed as OPM chief of staff. Riccardo Biasini, former Tesla engineer and director of operations at the Boring company, is now a senior adviser to the director. Earlier this week, Musk cohorts at the US Office of Personnel Management emailed more than 2 million federal workers offering “deferred resignations,” allegedly promising employees their regular pay and benefits through September 30.

The email closely mirrored the “extremely hardcore” note Musk sent to Twitter staff in November 2022, shortly after buying the company.

Many federal workers thought the email was fake—as with Twitter, it seemed designed to force people to leave, slashing headcount costs without the headache of an official layoff.

Ehikian followed up with a note to staff stressing that the email was legitimate. “Yes, the OPM email is real and should be taken very seriously,” he said in an email obtained by WIRED. He added that employees should expect a “further consolidation of offices and centralization of functions.”

On Thursday night, GSA workers received a third email related to the resignation request called “Fork in the Road FAQs.” The email explained that employees who resign from their positions would not be required to work and could get a second job. “We encourage you to find a job in the private sector as soon as you would like to do so,” it read. “The way to greater American prosperity is encouraging people to move from lower productivity jobs in the public sector to higher productivity jobs in the private sector.”

The third question posed in the FAQ asked, “Will I really get my full pay and benefits during the entire period through September 30, even if I get a second job?”

“Yes,” the answer read. “You will also accrue further personal leave days, vacation days, etc. and be paid out for unused leave at your final resignation date.”

However, multiple GSA employees have told WIRED that they are refusing to resign, especially after the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) told its members on Tuesday that the offer could be void.

“There is not yet any evidence the administration can or will uphold its end of the bargain, that Congress will go along with this unilateral massive restructuring, or that appropriated funds can be used this way, among other issues that have been raised,” the union said in a notice.

There is also concern that, under Musk’s influence, the federal government might not pay for the duration of the deferred resignation period. Thousands of Twitter employees have sued Musk alleging that he failed to pay their agreed upon severance. Last year, one class action suit was dismissed in Musk’s favor.

In an internal video viewed by WIRED, Ehikian reiterated that GSA employees had the “opportunity to participate in a deferred resignation program,” per the email sent by OPM on January 28. Pressing his hands into the namaste gesture, Ehikian added, “If you choose to participate, I offer you my heartfelt gratitude for your service to this nation. If you choose to stay at the GSA, we’ll work together to implement the four pillars from the OPM memo.” He ended the video by saying thank you and pressing his hands into namaste again.

Worst Interview Ever

Pitched by tech companies as a cost-efficient means of automating a laborious screening process typically done by an HR representative or recruiter, this A.I. software has the capability to “interview” hundreds of candidates, whom it can then recommend for further interviews with actual human beings. But for those on the other side of these chats, the experience of auditioning for a computer can feel somewhat surreal—and leave a rather unpleasant impression of a potential employer.

. . .

The shift to A.I. among human resources sectors is real. Earlier this month, the CEO of IBM confirmed that the company had laid off “a couple hundred” HR workers and replaced them with A.I. agents. A recent survey of 500 HR professionals also found that almost three-quarters of them believe they’re adopting the technology more quickly than other departments. Despite this, HR remains among the fastest-growing sectors in the U.S., with the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicting an 8 percent growth by 2033. According to the HR Digestmagazine, although A.I. can be used in this field to automate “an unnecessary amount of manual work,” like payroll management and vacation requests, it can’t yet “oversee the human section” or company culture. Still, amid concerns that the technology may develop algorithmic biases in hiring, Peditto believes that recruiters should be worried. “Good recruiters are more than just box-checkers and 15-minute screeners,” he said. “But for the people who this is sort of all they do, that can be scary, especially those early in their careers.”

The recruiters that are using A.I. are, in one sense, leveling the playing field. After all, some applicants, like Mayfield Phillips, who’ve been interviewed by A.I. bots have themselves used A.I. to boost their chances of landing a job by receiving help in polishing their résumés or tailoring cover letters. (You can even use the tech to practice your answers in mock interviews—a feature highlighted by Google in a recent Super Bowl ad—or have it listen to your job interview in real time and secretly suggest responses.) But Phillips, a 55-year-old IT project manager in New York, said he still found his experience this week of being interviewed by an A.I. chatbot, one also made by Apriora, to be profoundly surreal. Although he knew in advance he’d be conversing with an A.I. program that would listen to his verbal answers and ask him questions via text, he still had to schedule a time to chat with “Alex” (whose avatar appeared as a white woman with brown hair), and a preplanned interview had to be postponed due to technical difficulties the A.I. was experiencing. Phillips said he was also particularly frustrated and unimpressed after the A.I. was unable to answer a question he posed about what success might look like in the position.

BREAKING NEWS: Revolutionary AI Scheduling Model Disrupts Multi-Billion Dollar Industries

IndustriesMay 14, 2025 – In a groundbreaking development set to redefine time management across education, fitness, and the arts, researchers from the Zurich Institute of Technology (ZIT) have unveiled an artificial intelligence model capable of autonomously optimizing human schedules with an accuracy rate exceeding 98.7%.Dubbed "ChronoPilot," the new system leverages deep contextual learning to interpret not only user preferences but also emotional states, productivity trends, and even regional weather forecasts to dynamically tailor personal and group schedules. In early trials, the system outperformed existing scheduling platforms by over 400% in efficiency and conflict resolution.The implications span vast sectors. Educational institutions using class scheduling software like Lunacal’s platform for class bookings have already reported dramatic improvements in attendance and engagement. In the fitness industry, where applications such as gym booking software are crucial, ChronoPilot’s integration led to a 37% rise in client retention during a 90-day pilot. Music academies leveraging music lesson scheduling tools observed a 52% reduction in missed appointments.ZIT’s Secret Weapon: Sentient Sync ProtocolWhat truly sets ChronoPilot apart is its proprietary Sentient Sync Protocol (SSP) — a neural time-mapping engine that mimics human anticipation. SSP doesn’t just block out time; it predicts the best time for each task based on thousands of variables, including circadian rhythms, cognitive load history, and even micro-fluctuations in vocal tone during user interactions.Dr. Lena Marwick, lead AI architect at ZIT, explained, “We’re no longer asking users to fit into rigid schedules. ChronoPilot adapts to them, moment by moment.”Global Trials, Unprecedented ResultsThe AI was tested across 1.2 million scheduling interactions in 11 countries, across five major time zones. In one compelling instance, a public school in Osaka integrated ChronoPilot into its digital classroom system. Within three weeks, student punctuality improved by 48%, and feedback indicated a 63% increase in perceived classroom coherence.Meanwhile, a UK-based national gym chain used ChronoPilot to coordinate personal training sessions across 87 locations. Instructors reported a 41% decrease in downtime, and an average boost of 18% in customer satisfaction scores.ChronoPilot vs. The Old GuardWhile current scheduling tools rely heavily on manual input or rigid templates, ChronoPilot learns from passive inputs — browsing behavior, sleep app data, voice command history — with the user’s consent. This passive data synergy allows it to preemptively adjust schedules without user intervention.Analysts say the AI’s capabilities pose an existential threat to legacy scheduling systems and even to calendar giants like Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. “It’s not just a calendar anymore,” says Gideon Lark, senior analyst at MetaMetrics. “It’s a lifestyle orchestrator.”Privacy Concerns and Ethical DebateNot everyone is celebrating. Digital rights watchdogs have raised concerns about the volume and sensitivity of data ChronoPilot processes. The AI can access everything from location logs to biometric signals. While ZIT asserts the system uses end-to-end encryption and offers opt-out data controls, some critics remain wary."We’re trading convenience for surveillance,” warns Aria Salim, director of the Tech Privacy Initiative. “There must be enforceable limits on how such AI models evolve, especially as they begin to predict and possibly influence human behavior.”ZIT has responded by publishing a white paper detailing its privacy protocols and inviting third-party audits. Still, the debate over AI autonomy and human agency continues to intensify.

Minimum Wages Act Compliance for Corporates in India

Introduction

The Minimum Wages Act, 1948, is a crucial labor law in India that ensures fair wages for workers in various industries. It sets a legal minimum wage that employers must pay to prevent exploitation and promote economic justice. Corporates operating in India must comply with this Act to avoid legal repercussions and ensure fair employee compensation.

Key Provisions of the Minimum Wages Act

The Act mandates several essential compliance measures, including:

1. Applicability of the Act

The Act applies to scheduled employments specified by the Central and State Governments.

Covers all businesses employing workers in industrial, commercial, or other specified sectors.

2. Fixation and Revision of Wages

The government prescribes minimum wages based on skill level, nature of work, and region.

Wages are revised periodically to accommodate inflation and economic conditions.

3. Payment of Wages

Wages must be paid within the stipulated time frame (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly).

Employers must not deduct wages unlawfully except for legally permitted reasons.

4. Overtime and Working Hours

Any work beyond the prescribed working hours must be compensated at overtime rates.

Ensures compliance with regulated work schedules to prevent exploitation.

5. Penalties for Non-Compliance

Failure to comply can lead to penalties, including fines and imprisonment.

Non-payment of minimum wages can result in legal actions and reputational damage.

Compliance Challenges for Corporates

Corporates often face challenges in adhering to the Minimum Wages Act, such as:

Navigating State-Specific Regulations: Different states have varied minimum wage structures.

Managing Large Workforce Compliance: Ensuring accurate payroll compliance across multiple locations.

Keeping Up with Wage Revisions: Frequent revisions by authorities require constant monitoring.

Avoiding Legal Liabilities: Non-compliance can result in lawsuits and penalties.

How Corporates Can Ensure Compliance

Regular Wage Audits: Conduct periodic payroll audits to ensure compliance with wage laws.

Automate Payroll Systems: Use software solutions to track minimum wage updates and payroll adjustments.

Seek Legal Expertise: Engage labour law consultants for expert guidance on compliance.

Employee Awareness Programs: Educate employees on their wage rights and grievance redressal mechanisms.

Monitor State Notifications: Stay updated on government notifications regarding wage revisions.

Ensuring compliance with the Minimum Wages Act is not just a legal obligation but also a commitment to fair labour practices. Corporates must proactively implement wage regulations to foster a compliant and ethical work environment. Non-compliance can lead to legal issues and financial penalties, making it imperative for businesses to integrate wage compliance as part of their corporate governance framework.

The Importance of Cable Management in Electrical Panels

In modern electrical installations, particularly in industrial, commercial, and residential applications, cable management in electrical panels plays a critical role. Poor cable organization can lead to inefficiencies, overheating, safety hazards, and costly downtime. Implementing proper cable management is not just a technical necessity — it’s a long-term investment in the performance, safety, and scalability of your electrical system.

What is Cable Management in Electrical Panels?

Cable management refers to the planning, installation, and maintenance of cables within an electrical panel to ensure neatness, organization, and optimal functionality. It includes the use of accessories such as cable ties, ducts, cable trays, wire markers, and labeling systems.

Common Components Used:

· Cable trays and ducts

· Cable ties and clips

· Wire markers and labels

· Conduits and sleeves

· Cable management panels and grommets

Why is Cable Management Important in Electrical Panels?

1. Enhances Electrical Safety

Proper cable routing reduces the risk of:

· Short circuits

· Arc flashes

· Fire hazards due to overheating or overloading

· Accidental disconnections or loose terminals

Safety is non-negotiable in any electrical system, and disorganized wiring is a known contributor to accidents and failures.

2. Improves System Reliability and Performance

A clean layout ensures stable voltage and current flow by minimizing electrical interference (EMI/RFI). It helps in:

· Preventing signal loss

· Reducing cross-talk in data cables

· Maintaining consistency in power distribution

3. Simplifies Maintenance and Troubleshooting

With labeled and properly routed cables:

· Technicians can quickly identify circuits and connections

· Downtime during maintenance is significantly reduced

Born on January 29, 2001 in Daegu, South Korea, Janet (Kim Soojung) is the only child of Kim Seongho, a software developer, and Choi Kyungjin, a nurse. Both parents worked full time, and her mother’s schedule was especially unpredictable. As a result, Janet was a latchkey kid, usually if not always coming home from school to an empty house. “Spending all that time alone made me independent. I learned how to do a lot of things for myself at a young age.”

Academically, she was an average student, but she excelled in athletics and extracurriculars, enjoying various sports and hobbies. In middle school, while conspiring with friends on what to do for an upcoming talent show, Janet began to realize she had a passion for dance. “My bedroom became a little dance studio. I was always practicing and making up choreographies for my favorite songs.” Once she took up dancing, she never dropped it, growing her talent over the years. Realizing that her abilities might earn her a place in the k-pop industry, Janet auditioned for several companies, and she was eventually accepted to HoD in February 2021. Unfortunately, as the company directed the majority of their resources towards already existing projects, Janet endured a three-year training period with little discussion of a debut.

CURRENTLY, Janet is participating in the girl group survival show FRESH PRODUCE. She joined the show while searching for new opportunities in her career. “After three years of training with no debut, I felt like I had to do something. I’m really passionate about dance, and I know I’ve got the talent! I don’t want to waste any more time.”

It Is the East and He Is the Sun-- Chapter 2

Pairing: Alex Claremont-Diaz/Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor

Summary:

“I bet you $100 that he’s the reason Pez is late. That stupid, entitled motherfucker with his perfect fucking hair,” Alex lamented, rolling his eyes and slouching indignantly in his seat. It was stupid how soft his hair looked and even worse how much Alex wanted to feel it for himself.

“I really don’t think that Henry has control of the traffic patterns, Alex. You’re being ridiculous,” Nora chastised as Pez started to scoot down their row toward the seat next to her.

“Maybe not but the Mountchristen Corporation sure seems to think they are God and he is not exempt from that. Eat the rich.”

--

Or: The queer community theater AU that you never knew you needed. Alex is Romeo, Henry is Julien, and theater magic might just make these enemies fall in love.

Warnings: 18+, verbal ridicule/abuse, homophobia (If you would like to avoid the lines of homophobia, stop after reading "Henry could practically see the wheels turning in his head" and start again with "The phone lit up again, a text message with the preview hidden.")

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

After auditions at the Jup, Alex accompanied Nora back to the house that she and June had bought just a few months prior in South San Francisco. It was on the smaller side, only one floor with two bedrooms and one and a half baths. In the main section of the house was a decent-sized living room separated from a small kitchen by a wall with a breakfast bar carved out of its center, four stools tucked neatly beneath it. There was art covering the walls and plants nestled in every empty corner, on top of bookshelves and end tables. Nora kept an organized, complex watering schedule for each of the plants, much to June’s dismay. Her background in software engineering aided it in its interactive interface, the culprit of many a lonely night in bed as Nora used all of her free time to tend to this pet project. It all seemed to work out in their favor, though, as it was now in development with the company she worked for to be integrated into their next app release. And, every week, June seemed to come home with a new piece of art to add to their collection. Their most recent addition was a small painting inspired by Minerva Cuevas and her Feast and Famine show, the piece commenting on the exploitation of Latin America for food production. The week before that, it was a tarot deck reimagined for an intersectional, queer, trauma-informed reader with full-color art and shining golden edges. 

For dinner, Alex helped June with making empanadas and esquites using recipes they learned from their abuelita during their summers in Mexico visiting her. Nora watched on from the small table tucked at the end of the kitchen under a window as the siblings squabbled and took turns pushing each other out of the way when one would say something especially wicked about the other. The two were like peas in a pod, Alex always saying that he lucked out because he was born with a built-in best friend and June then would roll her eyes affectionately and say that after three blissful years as the only child, Alex came screaming into the world and she had not known a moment of peace since. 

After they ate, the topic of conversation shifted to the play and how Alex had received a callback for the part of Romeo. For a while, they focused on Alex’s excitement and how well he did at the audition. June even mentioned that she was going to talk to her boss at the San Francisco Bee about doing a piece on the Grand Jupiter and a review of the production. But, as it always did, Alex’s inevitable rambling tirade shifted to one particular Fox-Mountchristen with piercingly blue eyes and an offensively charming smile who just waltzed into auditions for the first time and took them by storm. He alternated between lamenting about how infuriatingly perfect Henry was and how ridiculous it was that not only was he singled out to read for a specific part but he got a callback on his very first try. 

“I just don’t understand why you’re so up in arms about this, Alex,” June’s voice rang from the kitchen, putting away the last dish from dinner as Alex sat sprawled on the couch, open Shiner in hand. Her wild, curly hair was tied into a low ponytail, some pieces left out to frame her face. There was a bit of soap smudged on her strong, Claremont jaw, one of the features Alex had always noticed when they would stand together in front of the bathroom mirror as children. They both looked so much like their father with their dark, curly hair and full eyebrows but they both seemed to have their mother’s jawline and June, their mother’s high cheekbones. 

“Because, June!” Alex exclaimed, free hand gesturing wildly. “Henry Fox-Mountchristen is the most insufferable man on the planet! How do you just walk into an audition for the first time and get a fucking callback for the lead?” 

“You might just be the most ridiculous person I know,” Nora chimed in from the loveseat, legs pulled to her chest and laptop resting on the top of her knees, the middle of her shirt wet from dishwater. June soon enough plopped down next to her and snuggled into her side, pressing a kiss to her cheek. 

“I am perfectly reasonable about this, you’re just a hater. You can’t just walk around getting everything handed to you on a silver platter just because you’re part of the richest family on this side of the planet and quite possibly the direct descendant of a Greek god. Damn cheekbones.”

“Okay, now you’re definitely exaggerating. They’ve got nothing on Bezos,” June replied, accidentally knocking her head into Nora’s laptop as she sat up straighter. 

“No, Bug, they’re like the Rockefellers of Great Britain. They’re old money. Henry probably sneezes into hundred-dollar bills,” Alex said, rolling his eyes and taking another swig of his beer. 

From the outside, it seemed like there was nothing that the Mountchristen Corporation didn’t have a hand in. They had started in the oil business in the early 1900s and expanded over the decades into manufacturing, political lobbying, healthcare, and most recently, technology. Everywhere Alex looked, there was another article about new assets acquired by the Mountchristens, new public policies being implemented with their support, new record-breaking profits, and exposés on their exploitation of resources and labor in the global south. It made Alex’s stomach roll to think about exactly how much wealth, how much power Henry had at his fingertips, how much damage and destruction that was born because of just one family. 

“You should know as well as anyone that family is not the only thing that dictates who a person becomes. If it were up to Mom, I would be the next Ruth Bader Ginsburg and you’d be the youngest person elected to Congress in this era. And for a while,  that is exactly what both of us thought we should do with our lives before we listened to our hearts,” June said, her eyes warm and inviting, sounding just like an older sister. “But, now I’m writing arts and culture articles for a local newspaper and you’re studying to become a civil rights lawyer.” 

“Okay, and?” Alex asked, crossing his arms in front of himself. “If I recall correctly, Henry is the very well-known face of Mountchristen Tech. Doesn’t exactly scream ‘I’ve rebelled from the status quo.’”

“All I’m saying is give Henry a chance. There might be more to him than meets the eye.” 

Alex sank further into the couch and felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. Instead of taking a moment to even think about the possibility of June being right, he pulled the device out and looked at it. Across the top of the screen was a notification for an email from the ACLU DC, subject line reading “ACTION NEEDED: Interview Request for…” Alex felt his heart clench in his chest– it had been his dream since he decided on law school instead of politics to work for them, fighting for the rights of people who looked like him, who loved like him, who lived like him. But, at the same time, he would be leaving everyone and everything he had ever known and moving across the country by himself. He had stayed in Austin for college when his mom was elected governor and then followed Nora and June to Silicon Valley for law school when Nora was hired by a tech startup and June got her post at the Bee. He wanted this job more than anything but he didn’t want to have it at the expense of losing the people he loved. 

It was just an interview, right?

When Alex arrived at the Grand Jupiter the next day, coffee cup in hand, Henry was already waiting outside the emerald door, tugging on the golden handles once before dropping his hand to his side and leaning back. He was wearing a tidy grey suit with a matching grey tie, hair perfectly coiffed and glowing under the light above him. It had been dark for hours at this point, the winter sun setting before Alex had left his last class for the day– said class leaving Alex feeling deeply underdressed as he walked up to the taller man. With a pair of jeans and a Standford Law hoodie on, Alex couldn’t help but feel completely out of place next to someone in head-to-toe Burberry. 

“It appears we are quite early,” Henry said, tucking his hands into his pockets. 

“What, feel guilty for how late you were to auditions?” Alex replied, only a little bite to his words. There was a pained look on Henry’s face, one that Alex had never seen from him before. He wanted to ask why 

“Honestly, I felt terrible about it. I never want to disrespect Mr. Luna and all of the hard work he puts into the Grand Jupiter. He’s a godsend to this place and its people. I tried to send Pez ahead of me but the bugger wasn’t convinced I would still show up if I was left alone.”

A small smile spread on Henry’s face as he talked about Pez and Alex couldn’t help but smile, too. The response had surprised him, to hear the reverence with which he spoke of the director, someone who was also so dear to his own heart. Rafael had long been someone that Alex looked up to, who he wanted to emulate. As a teenager, Alex watched with bated breath as Rafael worked day and night during the Obergefell v. Hodges case as one of the junior lawyers. In all of the press coverage, there Rafael was, standing behind the lead attorneys as they fought for marriage equality. Alex Claremont-Diaz vowed from that day forward that no matter what he did with his life, he would make sure it was worthy of the generations of kids just like him who would see him and be inspired, too. 

“Let’s just go around back, I know Zahra has to be here already,” Alex said, hoping to diffuse some of the tension he felt in his chest at Henry’s words. 

Sure enough, when Alex jiggled the ancient knob on the stage door, it popped open and there Zahra stood with a binder in one hand, the other pressed against the doorjamb of the small office next to the bathroom. The nameplate on the door read Shaan Shrivastava, facility manager. Screwdrivers, gaff tape, and light gels were lining the various surfaces in the space, filing cabinets and rolling tool chests made the space feel even smaller. A box of donuts sat on a stool just inside the door. Alex snagged one as he passed.

“Those aren’t for– Yes, Alex, please help yourself, because you’ve been working so hard on the fly system today with the rest of the stage team,” Zahra said, already exasperated by the youngest Claremont-Diaz.

“Thanks, Zahra! I knew you would understand. It’s hard work.” 

Alex bounded past Zahra and into the furthest dressing room, dropping his bag like he owned the place. Henry watched from near the entranceway, hands still shoved in his pockets and unsure of where to go. 

“You may as well have one, too, Mr. Mountchristen,” Shaan said from inside the office, noticing even from the strange angle that Henry was feeling out of place, unsure of what to do or where to go. 

Henry walked into the small space and grabbed one of the sweets, opting for a simple glazed donut as opposed to the chocolate and sprinkle monstrosity that he watched Alex escape with. 

“Shaan, please, call me Henry. How are you today?” Henry asked with a warmth to his voice that was not often heard. He had become quite fond of Shaan over the years of knowing Frankie and consequently being dragged into helping with various projects. For the last production, Henry had been a stagehand, donning all black and moving set pieces, fixing microphones and facilitating quick changes. 

“I’m great, Mr– Henry. I finally was able to fix the rigging on the upstage curtains. I’ve been meaning to do it since closing night.” 

Henry laughed lightly and looked at his shoes, remembering the absolute nightmare that the upstage rigs became that final night and for no apparent reason. 

“A pain in the arse, that one. I’m glad you’ve gotten it sorted.”

Zahra, then, quickly shooed Henry out of the office and toward the dressing room that Alex had found himself occupying. Inside, Alex was kicked back in a chair, feet crossed and resting on the counter in front of the mirror, mouthing the lines written on a piece of paper in his hands. Henry’s breath caught in his throat at the sight of him, the warm light casting a glow on his features, making his dark curls shine. 

Alex must have heard Henry step into the room, quickly turning in his chair to look at him. 

“Mountchristen,” Alex said as a means of greeting, nodding in his direction and then turning back to the paper in his hands. There was no bite to his voice, a strange departure from what normally transpired between the two. 

“Fox,” Henry stuttered out. Alex swung his head around, eyebrows furrowed and mouth pinched together.

“Huh?” 

“I prefer to go by Fox, if it’s all the same to you,” Henry supplied, stilted and tense. He wasn’t sure why he said anything, well desensitized to the name his grandmother insisted her front-facing grandchildren maintain. But there was a tugging in his chest, an unfettered desire to hear it, if even just once. 

Alex looked Henry up and down, lowering the paper to his lap. He contemplated for a moment before shrugging, an air of indifference in his posture but the hint of a smile at the corner of his lips.

“Fox it is, then.” 

Henry smiled shyly at Alex and then turned from the room, exiting toward the sound of commotion on the stage. 

Standing in a half-circle downstage were three people, Rafael Luna with his clipboard and the other pair reading for the roles of Romeo and Juliet: Imani and Sunny. Imani was standing close to  Sunny, laughing brightly at something the other must have said. Imani’s teeth were bright in her mouth, framed by full, dark lips and her hair spilled in twists down the middle of her back. She stood several inches taller than Sunny thanks to a pair of well-loved combat boots. Sunny’s smile was more subdued, their laugh more of a wheeze through their nose, their eyes crinkled at the corners where thick, charcoal eyeliner was smudging after a long day of wear. The two were thick as thieves and one was never seen without the other whenever they could help it.

Henry shuffled further onto the stage and was welcomed warmly by all three. Alex joined them shortly after, Rafael giving him some shit and Sunny bartering some of their mom’s homemade kimchi in exchange for more of the tamales he had given them over the holidays. The familiarity of it all was overwhelming for Henry and he couldn’t help but think that maybe Frankie was right, maybe this was exactly what he had needed. 

Imani and Sunny auditioned first and their talent was undisputed. They both commanded the scene with such ease, the banter believable and entertaining. But as Henry watched on, he couldn’t help but feel like there was something missing between the two friends. Individually, they played their parts well, but there was something just wasn’t there, a certain je ne se quois. Henry, however, felt a cold pit start to form in his chest, wondering how he could ever measure up to the two seasoned actors. Anxiety settled in his bones, a familiar ache of uncertainty and inadequacy making his fingers tap quietly against his knee as he watched on.

“Very good, friends,” Rafael called from his seat in the house, scribbling some final notes onto his sheet. “But I wouldn’t expect anything less from the two of you.” 

For the first time since sitting down, Henry chanced a look in Alex’s direction. He was kicked back in his seat, ankle crossed over his knee, foot bouncing but otherwise looking unphased. There was a certain air of confidence about him. Henry was equal parts intrigued and envious by it. 

“Alright, let’s have Alex and Henry, please,” Rafael called into the space and Alex immediately hopped to his feet. 

“Hope you’re ready to see how it’s done,” Alex said to Imani and Sunny, ribbing the two of them with a smile on his face. 

“You’re full of shit, Alex,” Sunny called back, a tempered but warm smile on their face. Imani just flipped him off.

On the stage, Alex and Henry both clutched at the papers with their sides on them, the only thing indicating that Alex might be just as nervous as Henry. Which he was, of course. This was his last chance to play a lead role before he graduated, before his life would take him who knows where. No. He wasn’t going to think about that today, he needed to be in the zone. Alex shook his head and bounced on his toes a little bit, trying to shake the nervous energy from his bones. As a small child, his mom would call it wiggling out the sillies when he would just be thrumming with energy and nowhere to put it all, and even now, sometimes it was the only thing that helped. 

When Alex caught Henry’s eye, there was something there he couldn’t quite read, a glaze over his features, and the corner of his lips pinched. It was that same look on his face that he always seemed to have when Alex was around, that entitled, pretentious, holier-than-thou look on his face that drove Alex crazy. With everyone else, Henry was perfectly fine, kind even. But when it came to Alex, it felt like Henry would rather be anywhere except in his vicinity. 

So, when Henry started to fumble over the lines as they tried to read from their sides, Alex had half a mind to let him crash and burn; to let the man who was practically handed this role just like everything else in his life finally be forced into failure. But when he looked at Henry once more, at the way his knuckles were gripping at the paper and the light sheen of sweat on his forehead under the stage lights, Alex softened. He remembered his first audition, he remembered how nervous he had been. He thought about what Henry had said outside the stage door, about how much he respected Rafael and the work of the theater. 

He couldn’t let him drown. 

“Hey, Raf, can we have a second?” Alex called from the stage, not waiting for a response before stepping closer to Henry. A brief panic flashed over his features as Alex approached but Alex laid a comforting hand on Henry’s arm.

“Alex, I’m so sorry,” Henry started, scrambling for a better grasp on the paper in his hand. The edges were starting to curl from his grip. 

“Fox, breathe,” Alex soothed, watching as Henry flipped through several different emotions in the span of a few sections. When his eyebrows recovered from their trip to his hairline, his jaw unclenched and his shoulders slowly relaxed. He took a deep breath, in through his nose and out of his mouth. Alex flashed him a playful smile, throwing on his best Texas accent and clapping Henry on his shoulder.“Ain’t so bad, huh, sweetheart? You can do this.” 

If a shudder ran through Henry, Alex definitely didn’t see it or have any feelings about it. They began again. 

“If I profane my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this:” Alex began, stepping forward and grabbing Henry’s hand, untangling it from its grip on his sheet. 

“My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.”

Henry looks over his lines briefly before looking up at Alex, flicking between his eyes, his lips, and back again.

“Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,  Which mannerly devotion shows in this;” Henry returned, stepping slightly closer and placing his other hand on top of their conjoined ones.

“For saints have hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch, And palm to palm is a holy palmers’ kiss.” A current of electricity flowed between them where their hands connected, their chests rising and falling deeper, their lips slightly parted as they breathed each other in.

“Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?” Alex’s gaze turned wicked, a playfulness and a wanton desire curling around his lips.

“Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer,” Henry said with a feigned innocence, almost taunting Alex. “O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do; They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.” With his free hand, Alex half-folded his paper, bringing the back of his fingers up to caress Henry’s cheek.

Henry leaned into Alex’s touch, closing his eyes. “Saints do not move, though grant for prayers’ sake.” 

“Then move not, while my prayer’s effect I take.” Alex dropped the hand on Henry’s face bringing himself closer to the cheek and ghosting a not-kiss there before pulling back. “Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purged.” 

Henry opened his eyes, pulling back slightly from Alex, glancing down at his lines before pulling himself closer, leaning down. “Then have my lips the sin that they have took.” 

Alex snaked a hand around Henry’s waist after a last cursory glance at the words on the page and smiled at the taller man. 

“Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.”

Alex and Henry leaned together, warm breath hitting warm breath, ghosting their skin. Their foreheads nearly touched, their chests closer than they ever had been before. With closed eyes, Henry turned his head, slightly nudging Alex’s cheek with his nose. Alex tilted his chin ever so slightly toward the touch, shoulders rising and falling with his erratic breath. There was Alex and there was Henry and nothing else existed. 

“Incredible, guys!” Rafael called from the house, breaking Alex and Henry from their reverie. They both jumped back slightly, dropping hands and opening their eyes, Henry’s piercing blue thinned completely around his blown pupils. A pink blush tinged the tips of his ears and Alex could feel the warmth spreading in his own cheeks. 

“I could really feel that one,” Rafael continued with a laugh. “Thought you might actually go for the kiss.” 

“Fuck, me too,” Alex huffed under his breath so that only he could hear it. He had never had a scene feel so real before. The stirring in his belly and fluttering in his chest must have just been from being so deep in the character, that’s all. 

Rafael dismissed them all and promised a returned cast list in the very near future. Imani and Sunny met them on the stage and congratulated them both, fawning over each others’ performances and wishing them luck. Henry and Alex walked off the stage together, returning to the dressing room where Alex’s bag had been dropped. Henry lingered in the doorway, much like he had when they first arrived. 

“Thank you,” Henry said simply after a moment, the two words filled with all the things he couldn’t say. 

“Of course,” Alex replied, shrugging his shoulders, knowing exactly what Henry meant. “It’s just what we do here. We’re a community, a family.” 

Henry nodded once and turned on his heels, walking toward the sound of chatter in the facility manager’s office. 

Alex finished shoving his script back into his school bag and slinging it over his shoulder and making his way toward the stage door. 

“Alex is great. I really didn’t think he could do it, not like that,” Alex overheard Henry say to Shaan. Something prickled at Alex’s spine, crashing him down off his high. Was Henry seriously telling the first person he could find about how much he didn’t believe that Alex could actually measure up? That familiar sense of anger and distaste raised in the back of his throat, the one he had harbored since the day he met Henry. Another day, another fucking example of just how above everything Henry thinks he is. Of course, it was too good to be true. June could kiss his ass.

Alex stormed out the stage door, banging it open before he could hear Henry continue to Shaan. “I was frozen and Alex pulled me out of it. He’s already one of the best actors here but he’s also incredibly kind. I was ready to make a right fool of myself and he didn’t let that happen.” 

All the words Alex couldn’t hear. 

Henry rode the high of his callback with Alex all the way to the office the next morning. Mountchristen Tech was housed in a relatively tall building with floor-to-ceiling glass windows on every level. Large, revolving doors lined the main entrance into a lobby filled with chandeliers and slate-colored walls, modern chairs and tables, and an intake desk with three workers and the newest computers hot off the latest device release. The floors spanning upward were filled with every kind of worker– the lower floors home to engineers and designers with ping pong tables and nap pods, the higher floors with office after office of suit-clad business people and an abundance of single-serve coffee machines. The top suite was saved for those with the highest rank and often was empty save for the administrative assistants and Henry. But, today, the floor was filled with activity and chatter. Mary Mountchristen had made her monthly appearance that morning with Phillip in tow. Normally, Henry would try his hardest to interact with them as little as possible but today he was preparing himself for a meeting he had been dreading for weeks. 

A little less than a month ago, Pez approached Henry with a request, a proposition of sorts. The San Francisco youth center was in need of an executive director and Pez wanted it to be Henry. From the beginning, Henry had played an instrumental role in the development of the shelters, spending hours outside of his position at the Mountchristen Corporation working on details with Pez, strategizing, and even traveling to scope out possible build locations. The homeless LGBTQ+ youth shelters felt like Henry’s baby with the time and effort he had put into creating them. It had started out as a small favor to Pez, whose degree was in musical theatre, while Henry was finishing his MBA but turned into his passion project. Being forced into business and the closet at behest of Mary Mountchristen hadn’t come with many outlets for Henry to be himself; but using the knowledge and money he had obtained because of the dynasty to help queer kids was Henry’s perfect rebellion. 

Pez knew that Henry had been waffling with Frankie about leaving his job with Mountchristen Tech and Henry wasn’t naive enough to not recognize his request for what it was. But, Henry had scheduled a meeting with his brother and grandmother during the conversation anyway. He figured trying to get out of it could be a later Henry problem. Between his volunteer hours and his visits with Frankie, it had slipped his mind until his calendar had notified him after the chemistry read of his next day meetings. Still floating somewhere in the clouds after being on the stage, of reading with Alex, of performing queerness outside the four walls of his glass closet, he decided that maybe he should just go to the meeting and see what they say about him stepping down or stepping back to help Pez. 

Now, however, as the clock was about to strike 4 pm, Henry was feeling more frazzled and much less confident in his decision. But he stood and walked to Mary’s office anyway. And that’s what mattered, right? 

“The marketing numbers are finally improving again, Henry dearest. I was starting to worry you were going to run the division into the ground,” Mary said without looking up from the computer screen in front of her as Henry walked into the room. Her hair was in a short, razor-straight bob and she wore large, black-framed glasses atop sunken cheeks, complemented by a bright red lip and crooked, yellowed teeth. Her aesthetic had morphed over the years from a regal socialite to a fashion-forward CEO trying to stay relevant. Keyword: trying. Despite its evolution, however, there was one constant: her appearance was jarring, intimidating, and cold. 

“How could I ever do such a thing,” Henry responded, cold and emotionless. Mary’s words had a way of cutting to the bone before you even got a word in edgewise. It wasn’t uncommon for her method of greeting to be carefully crafted to position its recipient at the bottom of an already unfair hierarchy, disadvantaging them from the get against any attempt toward control. 

“You’ve never been one for the art of business, Henry. My hesitation in confidence of your success is not undue. Especially considering your choice to major in literature at university. Imagine if we hadn’t encouraged your graduate studies, then you certainly would have ruined what is shaping up to become our most lucrative asset of the new age.” 

Henry pressed his fingers into the palm of his hands, digging crescent moons into the soft flesh there as a pressure bloomed in his chest, tightening and tightening despite his best efforts against it. It took him back to a time long before the meetings and mandates, back when he was still small enough to ride on his father’s shoulders and yet old enough to wonder why– why he was so small, why he loved reading books when Phillip liked rugby, why the sky was blue, why their neighbor got a puppy for Christmas but Santa didn’t bring one for them, as well. He was small, curious, and full of wonder. But even with pudgy hands and rounded cheeks, he was not exempt from his grandmother’s ridicule. So as he ran towards his father’s arms, hoping to be held a little closer to the leaves of the trees, his grandmother chided him against such an unflattering display of affection and his heart had cracked in two. The small boy full of curiosity and wonder only learned one thing that day: his heart was much softer, much more delicate than was expected of him and he needed to hide it away behind blocks of cinder and cement to keep it safe. 

“I’m sure you didn’t call for a meeting with us just to hear Gran prattle on about your plentiful shortcomings. What is it that you needed?” Philip asked from his seat near but not next to Mary’s desk. He hadn’t always been so sharp with his jabs but after the passing of their father and his subsequent launch into the stratosphere of corporate power, he seemed to have traded his empathy and respect for something much darker. 

Henry took a deep breath and stepped closer to them both, fixing himself as a point in a triangle, sitting near Phillip at the clear glass table.

“I want to pivot in my career. I have been offered the opportunity to work with the Okonjo Foundation in a hands-on directorship of one of their youth centers. I believe this would be the best move I could take in advancing my career.”

He had practiced saying those sentences for hours leading up to this meeting, workshopping which words would be most effective and which ones would lay too much of himself bare for the wolves to eat. 

“Advancing your career?” Phillip asked incredulously. “You’ve gone mad, Henry. You will never be able to climb out there in the real world like you can here, with us.” 

“Phillip makes a compelling point, there is no opportunity like the ones we have afforded to you despite your misgivings.” Mary said, tapping her chin with a manicured finger.  “You’ve not got what it takes to fight alongside those of us who’ve made their life's work of being the best, of making the most money, of ensuring the success of the company no matter the cost.” 

“Being concerned with the welfare of those whom we employ and our impact on the environment are not frivolous misgivings that make me incapable of running a business,” Henry replied, feeling the skin under his collar starting to heat up. “If anything, it makes me better equipped for competing in an ever changing, ever growing society.” 

Before any response could be made, Henry’s phone vibrated on the table, lighting up with an email from queerlyproductions@grandjupiter.org, subject line reading “Congratulations! You’ve Been Cast!”. A brief rush of excitement flooded Henry’s body until he looked up and saw Phillip, too, staring at the words on the screen, eyes narrowing. The joy was quickly replaced with terror as Phillip’s mouth began to move and Henry could practically see the wheels turning in his head. 

“That cannot possibly be for you, Henry. Queerly Productions? The Grand Jupiter? You could not be so daft as to participate in such a thing,” Phillip said, disgust dripping from his voice. 

“Oh, I’ve heard of that little theater, the one where they put on all those little… performances,” Mary supplied, still processing. 

“It’s just a play, Phillip. It’s not a big deal,” Henry replied, trying to keep a cool facade. “I promised a good friend I would participate.”

“Not a big deal? No, it’s only the public face of our rapidly growing technology division participating in some gay little performance at a theater built for fairies,” Phillip replied, standing and beginning to pace. Behind him Mary started to put the pieces together. Henry’s heart clenched. 

“Henry Mountchristen, you know better than this,” Mary chided, remaining seated. “Need I remind you that you are to be leading a life worthy of the position you have been gifted at the hands of my and my husband’s hard work? And how easily it all could be taken away? Whatever did happen to Beatrice anyway? Once we closed all of her accounts and foreclosed her penthouse, I lost track of where she ended up in life. Washing dishes and sleeping in train stations perhaps?” 

Henry quickly stood to his feet, anger radiating from his bones, “Do not say her name. You don’t get to speak about her that way.” 

“It’s simple, Henry. We have given you the widest berth we could for your proclivities and dalliances. We have turned a blind eye to your Saturdays at that facility and the weekends you have spent backstage for this theater. But to act on stage in such a flagrant display of that behavior? It’s a disgrace to the family name.” Phillips words cut like ice in Henry’s chest. 

The phone lit up again, a text message with the preview hidden. Henry ignored it as the words spinning around him started to twist and coil in his mind, in his chest, in his hands and stomach. For his entire life, he had been told that who he was, was not good enough, was not tolerable, was not acceptable, was not right. To be faced with it again was nothing short of overwhelming and Henry questioned why he had ever thought any of this was a good idea. 

“Between your father and your sister, we have had to do more than enough damage control. You’re not leaving the company to go work with that center. We will do a press release about your volunteer work with that theater to clean up the mess you have made of your image. You are nothing without us, Henry, and you are right to remember that,” Mary said resolutely, leaving no room for argument or question. Henry felt like he was three feet tall. It was better he tucked his tail between his legs and left before things could get any worse. 

Checking the time on his phone and noticing the late hour, Henry finally unfroze from his spot standing between the two poles of a vicious magnet and made his way for the door.  Bea’s gig was to start within the hour. Without a final word, he left, grabbing his things from his office and making his way to his car. He sat behind the wheel unmoving for several long minutes that could have stretched into hours, cataloguing the sensations in his body. His heart was beating too fast, his breathing too shallow. His muscles felt like lead and his ear rung with a deep, deafening sound. It felt like he was plunging into cold water, the world around him muffled and out of reach. But as he catalogued all of these sensations and placed himself back into time and space, he felt himself begin to calm. And as every time before and every time that will come again, Henry continued forward.

What is a Bookkeeper’s Role in HIPAA-Compliant Businesses?

Healthcare organizations are expected to save and maintain lives, but as businesses, they must be HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant. This is required for healthcare businesses in the United States, a legal requirement designed to protect the privacy and security of patient’s personal health information (PHI).

HIPAA compliance creates a framework for safeguarding sensitive health information for a reliable healthcare ecosystem that can only be promoted by trustworthy professionals.

These professionals in businesses like the top bookkeepers play a crucial role in protecting businesses by utilizing their expertise and ethical practices. Here are some ways in which reliable bookkeepers help and support HIPAA-compliant businesses:

Security

To protect financial records and PHI from unauthorized access, theft, or breaches, bookkeepers must implement appropriate security measures.  This includes utilizing secure computer systems, encrypted data storage, and password protection for financial software and databases.

Confidentiality

When handling financial records containing protected health information (PHI), bookkeepers must maintain strict confidentiality. Any individually identifiable health information, such as medical records, payment information, and insurance information, is considered PHI. Bookkeepers should ensure that access to such information is limited to authorized personnel only.

Record Retention and Disposal

Bookkeepers should adhere to HIPAA guidelines for the retention and disposal of financial records that contain PHI.  These guidelines specify the minimum retention period for different types of records and the secure destruction methods for disposing of sensitive information.

Monitoring and Auditing

Bookkeepers may be involved in auditing and monitoring financial transactions to ensure HIPAA compliance. This includes reviewing financial records on a regular basis, identifying any discrepancies or irregularities, and reporting any suspected violations to appropriate personnel.

Training and Awareness

Bookkeepers should receive HIPAA training and be aware of the specific requirements for financial transactions and record-keeping. They must understand the significance of maintaining PHI privacy and security, as well as how to deal with any potential breaches or incidents.

Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)

Under HIPAA regulations, bookkeepers who work with HIPAA-compliant businesses may be considered business associates. Any entity that performs services on behalf of a covered entity (such as a healthcare provider) and has access to PHI is considered a business associate. Bookkeepers should have a signed BAA with the covered entity outlining their responsibilities and obligations in terms of PHI protection.

The Bottomline

Overall compliance with HIPAA is a collaborative effort that involves numerous stakeholders, including healthcare providers, covered entities, and business associates. 

Just like any other industry, efficient bookkeeping in healthcare is an essential component for effortless accounting processes to efficiently run a business. Hence it is a must to entrust a healthcare system’s finances only to trustworthy bookkeepers for long-term success. 

So if you are a healthcare business owner or a healthcare business manager now is the time to get started! Learn how! Schedule a call now!
