TAG - THE ASPEN GROUP

TAG – The Aspen Group – is transforming the healthcare system , to bring better health to more people

Building teams that are passionate about delivering great care and great service , to both patients and doctors , is critically important to Bob Fontana , chairman and CEO of TAG – The Aspen Group , a business he founded more than 23 years ago – as Aspen Dental , and which recently expanded beyond dental , and into healthcare and was aptly rebranded as TAG last year .

“ The company has recently evolved ,” explains Fontana . “ We went from being a dental support organisation – supporting independent practice owners and dentists for Aspen Dental branded offices – to now , as TAG , providing support to four healthcare businesses .”
Fontana ’ s experience across the past 25 years has significantly shaped his current role as founder , chairman , and CEO .
“ It ' s been a learning journey , there ' s no doubt about it ,” says Fontana . “ We ' ve been doing this for a long time , but what hasn ' t changed is our focus on a real patientcentric and doctor-centric model . You realise during this journey that having people connected to what we ' re doing is critically important . We ’ re proud to be able to expand deeper into healthcare and continue to develop the businesses that are now in the TAG network : Aspen Dental , ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers , WellNow Urgent Care and Chapter Aesthetic Studio .”
