Other things about me…
What is your biggest challenge today?
In healthcare, especially in Marin-Sonoma, one of our greatest challenges is caring for the aging population. We continue to not only focus our efforts on providing high quality, affordable care but also on creating new efficiencies that streamlines their journey across the continuum of care.
How do you think your profession will change in the next five years?
It may not happen within the next five years, but
the wave of the future will be providing less care in hospitals and medical offices and more care in the home.
What words that best describe you?
Caring, compassionate, tenacious and a good sense of humor.
