Gates Healthcare Associates has had the pleasure of working with a variety of healthcare organizations across the United States. Although our firm is based outside Boston, our team of associates is dispersed and dedicated to traveling far and wide to meet our clients' needs.
Such a need arose recently from an unprecedented locale, as Gates Healthcare signed its first international client, a compounding pharmacy in Canada. Our Senior Associate
Ken Latta, R.Ph., swooped in to provide remediation support for the pharmacy's accreditation survey.
We look forward to providing accreditation, lab design and USP compliance support for more clients in Canada as well as on our home turf.
Sincerely,
Ernest P. Gates Jr., RPh, FASCP, FIACP, FACA
President,
Gates Healthcare Associates

Associate
Lori Bassinger and Senior Associate
Chuck Young will lead the hour-long webinar that has been designed to help attendees develop risk management policies and procedures to prepare for DEA accountability inspections.
