"Quint is an iconic figure in healthcare and leadership.

It is amazing to me as a travel[er] in health circles, how many very top leaders in the field attribute the success of their institutions very directly to Quint," says Scott Becker, JD, CPA, partner with McGuireWoods in Chicago and publisher of Becker's Hospital Review.
