“I am very excited to be taking on this new role at Pure,” said Smith. “I believe we have a great business model and a talented management team that uniquely positions us to capitalize on the changing biologic infusion industry. Our mission to provide an exceptional patient experience while simultaneously reducing the high cost of infusion therapy to both the patient and health plans are a powerful force to drive positive change in this part of healthcare.”
