“Mainstreet is committed to fundamentally changing the way healthcare is delivered nationwide,” said Zeke Turner, Mainstreet’s founder and CEO. “With the addition of Dr. Thomas, our intent is to do something disruptive, to reinvent the entire ‘senior care’ sector. He is a top innovative mind within healthcare, and with his collaboration, we plan to take an intolerable product and make it something desirable.”
