As a result of the survey and client conversations, the following Summit ReSources portfolio of services was structured. Each vendor underwent a stringent due diligence process. An onsite visit to the primary facility providing the service was part of the process for the majority of the vendors. If you would like to learn more about any of the programs or have any questions, please contact Debbie Stubbs or Laura Pearce.
