A copy of the Program can be obtained from the Compliance Officer, Jean McMahon, RN, by calling 866-662-4560 extension 302.

A written copy of our Program is provided to all employees, and all employees receive training on the Program. All employees are required to report any apparent violation of this Policy to their supervisor or the Compliance Officer. Failure to report conduct that may be in violation of Matrix's Legal and Regulatory Compliance Program may result in disciplinary action.
