IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 26, 2013) - In its commitment to transforming the business of the healthcare experience, TAYLOR, a full-service healthcare design firm, adds Lance Carlson of Carlson Strategy Group as Principal and Director of Strategies. A recognized advocate and practitioner for human-centered design and innovation, Lance will work with clients to develop strategy solutions that help organizations reach their goals and foster greater innovations in healthcare delivery methodology and human services.
