Prior to founding Azura, Josh was the Founder and President of McClellan Health Systems Inc. (MHS), located in Perrysburg, Ohio. Through strategic acquisitions and development, MHS grew from a single, skilled nursing facility to a leading regional healthcare provider, operating six full service retirement communities and caring for over 650 residents.
