The strong link between these groups therefore makes this consolidation a logical move for efficiency, budgetary, and compliance reasons; and also provides for an even closer collaboration of these efforts. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>At this time, locations, phone numbers and fax numbers will remain the same for both departments.
