Individual pages will make it difficult for a prospect to scan quickly. I am not opposed to individual pages, but I think there should continue to be a summary page as well that lists all providers. We have this today, but it is basically just a long list. Maybe we could break it up by region and allow for some styling, images, etc. I personally would prefer to just have a better summary listing that would link to our website. I have no interest in maintaining another page.
