as healthcare evolves. To be successful during changing times, you must embrace the unknown as an opportunity for growth and improvement. Be willing to look beyond traditional approaches, be creative and above all, determined to pursue the vision while having a ‘Plan B.’ I am fortunate to have a strong, dedicated team who is passionate and willing to go the distance with me. I trust them fully, and respect their differences, understanding that everyone has something to unique to contribute. To do that, I must really listen to them.” What type of skill set do you possess which makes you an effective leader? “I’m very passionate about home and community based services and it stems from my personal life experiences. At a young age, I observed the comfort my family and parents experienced receiving care within their own home prior to their passing. I feel strongly that the center of care should be in the home and community. That’s what drives me to visualize unique solutions and reshape organizations to better meet community needs in a rapidly evolving environment.” How can the healthcare Industry in the region be improved? “Home and community-based care is a critical component to the continuum of care, and is vital to the future of healthcare. All stakeholders need to work together to preserve the region’s health. We encourage each other and work together to find the most creative solutions for delivering the best and most affordable health care possible, in the environment that people want to be in, their own homes.” What do you do for fun? “My husband and I love to snowmobile together, so we always look forward to the winter snowfalls. More than anything, we love to spend as much time as possible with our three grown daughters and our grandchild, Selah Christine.”
