AI vs Human: What Actually Converts Admissions in Behavioral Health?
Many treatment centers continue to lose #AdmissionsOpportunities through #MissedCalls, delayed follow-up, and inefficient admissions workflows—often without realizing the true impact on census growth and revenue.
🎙️ In this episode of The elev8.io Podcast, Gary Garth sits down with Drew Powers, Chief Growth Officer at Rollover Rep, to discuss:

✔️ AI vs Human: what actually converts admissions?
