I balance a kind and caring style with a steadfast commitment to accountability. I am a good listener and a strong communicator.” How can the healthcare industry in the region be improved? “We need to continue to move toward a population health system of care that focuses on prevention and treating people in the lowest cost setting. We need to further develop meaningful value-based payment models that reward outcomes not volumes. Homecare needs to be recognized for the value it provides, and paid adequately to cover costs.” What do you do for fun? “I enjoy playing golf, walking, and playing with my golden doodle.
