Franks positioned ABOUT for future
Franks transformed and positioned ABOUT for the future in her six-year tenure as CEO and four years prior on the board of directors. These achievements include a corporate rebrand, two strategic acquisitions, a majority equity investment, and numerous expansions and improvements to the ABOUT technology and services platform as well as record-breaking customer growth while fostering a people-first company culture.
Notably, during Franks' tenure, ABOUT supported health systems across the U.S. during the early outbreaks of the COVID-19 pandemic in helping maximize their capacity while enabling critically ill patients to receive needed care, whether it was in a hospital across town or across the state. ABOUT's collaboration in creating the Arizona Surge Line was held up as a national example – with articles published in JAMA Health Forum, NEJM Catalyst, and Frontiers in Public Health – demonstrating how hospitals and health systems can put aside competitive barriers during public health emergencies to ensure patients receive critical care as soon as possible.
