As part of the Neuhope team, Dr. Pion is eager to share his insight, expertise, and counsel. “I’ve always been full of curiosity and have sought to change the way we see problems. Wondering what new idea or invention in medicine and technology will be created that change the standards of care and improve pa-tient outcomes. Having been in this industry for sometime, seldom do you see something as innovative as Neuhope’s care management solutions.”
