Who We Are
About Us
Married since 1987, Ray and Juanita have one son.
Juanita retired as Vice President of Audit & Risk Management in 2023 after 30+ years of corporate audit, compliance & risk management experience in several industries (i.e., manufacturing, insurance, healthcare & utilities).
Ray retired in 2020 after 30+ years of law enforcement & community service.
Ray is the oldest of 3 siblings, and Juanita is the oldest of 5 siblings, 2 of whom are deceased. Juanita’s relentless pursuit of compassionate, quality care is fueled by her belief that quality care and accurate medicine administration would probably have prolonged her siblings’ lives.
