Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Joel Nelson, president and CEO of LCS announced today that Chris Bird will be joining LCS in February to lead the company’s rental division. He will be charged with leading all aspects of the rental company including operations, occupancy development, and new business growth.
“Chris brings 22 years of senior housing experience in the rental and CCRC spaces, a strong foundation in marketing and sales, and is a respected voice with industry capital partners,” says Joel Nelson, president and CEO. “LCS has a very strong and talented management team.
