“I am honored to join Saber Healthcare Group at such a pivotal time,” said Shamberg. “Saber has a strong reputation for its dedication to patient-centered care. I look forward to working with Bill Weisberg and the Saber team to advocate for the resources and policies needed to ensure the well-being of our most vulnerable population.”
During his tenure at PHCA, Shamberg and his team led provider members through significant legislative and regulatory victories, including historic Medicaid reimbursement increases and one-time funding infusions, the successful passage of legislative initiatives, the defeat of a 4.1 PPD staffing mandate, and the expansion of workforce initiatives across the long-term care continuum.
