AdaptHealth Corp. Common Stock 2026 Global Healthcare Conference

Sure. Or do you have Yeah, let's tee it up.

Yeah I'll base my opening comments on that.

A long, arduous process, but I made it, and I am excited about the opportunity here at the company. Lots of growth opportunity, lots of opportunity to implement a lot of what I am really good at, with over two decades of public company operational experience in controls, process, procedures, structure, and all the rest. I am looking forward to being able to apply a lot of that knowledge, and the scars and bruises that I developed over that long period of time, and bring it to AdaptHealth.

Sure. The process was, at some point, Jason Clemens, who many of you know, who I want to formally thank for almost 7 years at AdaptHealth, had brought the company through very significant changes in times and maturity. But the conversation had started around just like a new pitcher. You got to put a new guy on the mound. We started having conversations about what Adapt needed in its next CFO. What I was looking for was public company experience. Someone who's been there, done that. What I put out to the network was a very strong, operationally minded, proven CFO. Where AdaptHealth is is we, 160 acquisitions over the years. We've made great progress in integrating, but the maturity of our finance team needs to go to the next level, all the way down to the bottom.

Bringing in someone who could be process driven, use predictive analytics, think about what the numbers mean, reduce surprises, have real-time visibility, was the type of profile I was looking for. Sent word out and through the network. Discovered Harriss. He has worked alongside our chief legal officer for 7 years at Luminex, Richard Rew. Called Harriss up and said, "Is this something worth looking at?" As he tells the story, he said that Harriss didn't say immediate yes, which the chief legal officer didn't like that answer, but by the end of the day, had time to dig into the financials, look at our company in a little more depth, and said this is an incredible opportunity. That's why he's here. We got to know him. Proven operational leader. That's great.
