Throughout my over 25-year career in health care, my goal has been to keep patients from falling through the cracks. Never has this been more tested than during the past three years. Having started at the bedside as an intensive care unit nurse, I know all too well the challenges both patients and caregivers face. My passion and commitment to health care is rooted in a deep understanding of all types of care, which has allowed me to experience firsthand how disconnected the health care delivery system can be. My focus is to break down silos across the continuum and improve the coordination of care to help patients and their family members gain more control over their medical journey, and in the process further enable better health outcomes.
