In addition, CHC has hired Sandra Teichman as the company's new Staffing Development Manager.

"Complete Healthcare Communications has increased its revenue this year by over 40 percent, and while we continue to attract many highly qualified candidates, we also realize that in order to achieve our long term business goals and control growth we will need to expand our candidate pool in the editorial area, with medical writers and directors," said Robert Norris, the founder and President of CHC. "Our goal is to continue to grow our already large and talented editorial staff and to make CHC the place where the industry's best medical writers want to work.
