CANHR is sorry to report the death of Peter Summers, a former HCFA analyst and a friend and colleague of CANHR. Through his work with the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) – now CMS - “Pete” Summers was devoted to working to improve the quality of life and quality of care in our country’s nursing homes. He continued to consult after he retired from HCFA, volunteering at CANHR and contributing to numerous reports on the inadequacies of nursing home staffing and care issues. Pete Summers gave true meaning to the words “public servant.” And those he served, particularly nursing home residents and advocates, will always be grateful for his work.
