Googling the name brings up ‘Perception Strategies’, which is Healthcare MS’ing and a MSPA member…
Current link re-directs to advertising/marketing firm (ndp.agency. com)… can’t find anything there about MS’ing…
Google didn’t reveal anything about what may have happened to CSP… all links re-direct to the ndp site… although I didn’t search past first page results… Most recent discussion on our forum is from 2013… nothing in MSM…
