You are part of the management team of a large rehabilitation center that provides short-term care rehabilitation services on an inpatient and outpatient basis. Your center is proposing a new addition of long-term care services, and with this expansion, you must hire and train several new employees. Your team will be responsible for developing a presentation to inform your selected audience of the proposed expansion and its effect on the organization.
