How would you describe your journey to becoming the health leader you are today?
My mother was diagnosed with leukemia in 1987. We watched her suffer for 14 months. The year after she passed away, hospice exploded. My goal is that no person should have to suffer in pain. Through this experience, I have empathy for the families I work with, and I treat their loved ones like I would have wanted my mother treated.
What routines and habits help you prepare for, or recover from, a day’s challenges.
I have found that working with a team that has the same goals and caring hearts make my position in health care easier to manage.
Please share advice you would give as a mentor to women new to the health field.
I have found that building trusting relationships is so important in health care. I have many co-workers and friends in the health care world. It is always beneficial to reach out to others in the field about complex issues or concerns.
Tell us one of your patients’ success stories.
One of my favorite success stories is about a married couple that moved into our assisted living. They were able to move back home after receiving physical therapy and occupational therapy and some medication adjustments.
