- Capitalizing on favorable CMS pricing and positive payer mix.
- Executing H2 de novo openings while containing ramp-up costs.

Question #1
Given the company’s history of settling major fraud allegations which he publicly dismissed, how does Tarr balance the intense pressure to achieve financial targets with the need to instill a genuine, top-down culture of compliance?
Question #2
When faced with significant operational failures like the recent patient safety lapses, does Tarr prioritize transparently addressing the root cause or does he default to his playbook of narrative control to manage public and investor perception?
Question #3
Considering Tarr dismantled the very integrated-care strategy he was responsible for building, how does he weigh long-term strategic conviction against the impulse to pivot away from the current de novo plan if it faces significant execution headwinds?
