“Having worked with CWH consultants for several years, I have come to appreciate the superior level of professionalism expressed by the entire CWH staff. We were impressed by Dr. Hornick since the beginning of our relationship by his commitment to excellence, and going forward, by his company's unique and unparalleled ability to connect with our human resources personnel and our uniformed fire department personnel. CWH consultants are surely among the best in the industry.”
