With budgeted revenue of $52 million, a consolidated balance sheet of $1.84 billion and currently serving more than 14,000 diverse seniors, Parker is uniquely positioned for further strategic growth in our industry. Approaches to further expanding its national impact include: serving as a true innovation hub pioneering new research, test-piloting new approaches to care delivery and management, thought leadership, and broadening services and program opportunities.
