Paul Contris Arizona founded Mission Healthcare LLC in May of 1997, bringing with him higher than a decade of experience in the long-term care industry.

In 1982, Paul earned a bachelor�s degree in accounting from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Wash., graduating summa cum laude. He previously worked for Ernst & Whinney (now Ernst & Young) being a certified public accountant in the company�s audit division before joining Hillhaven Corporation in 1983. He served as Hillhaven�s acquisitions analyst and was instrumental in expanding the company, which at the time was the second-largest long-term care system in the united states.

Paul Contris Arizona was then recruited by Samaritan Health Systems (SHS), a hospital chain situated in Arizona, to serve since it's chief financial officer in charge of creating a long-term care subsidiary called Samaritan Senior Services. Under Paul�s leadership, Samaritan Senior Services grew to add 22 long-term care facilities.

After eight years with SHS, Paul helped found a brand new long-term care company called SunQuest HealthCare Corporation, which grew right into a multi-million-dollar company that went public in 1995 under the new name Unison HealthCare Corporation. In 1996, the company�s ownership altered, and Paul worked as the executive vice president of acquisitions and start up business development until 1997.

Planning to continue working in the long-term care industry, Paul Contris Arizonabegan Mission Healthcare with Evergreen Terrace Healthcare Center, based in Grand Rapids, Minn., as the company�s first community. Today, the business has more than 900 associates doing work in seven communities offering quality services and gives a number of specialty care programs for example memory care and ventilator units (including the largest Minnesota ventilator unit based in a long-term care facility). Mission Healthcare also boasts several Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs-certified facilities.
