Background
- CEO and President of Carelink Home Health and Link Home Care (Illinois home health and home care).
- CEO and President of High Haven (Darien, Normal and Elgin, Illinois) and Aces Dispensary (Plainfield, Illinois), licensed adult-use cannabis dispensaries.
- Manager of CareOS AI LLC, which develops the CareOS AI electronic medical record.
Conflicts of interest
- Home Health Brief: Monsaur owns home health and home care agencies, and CareOS AI LLC publishes this site and builds an EMR product. Stories that mention Carelink, Link Home Care or CareOS AI say so.
- The Highline Report: Monsaur operates Illinois dispensaries (High Haven and Aces Dispensary). The site is kept editorially separate from them and doesn't sell or promote their products. Stories about Illinois retail, taxes or advertising carry a disclosure.
- The Whole Read: Plumb Line ratings follow our published method and rate individual claims, not people or outlets.
