ChallengingMomentsThatDeﬁnedHer

However,recallingoneofthemostchallenging periodsfortheentireworld,Barnonasaysthat theCOVID-19pandemicwasoneofthemost deﬁningmomentsinherprofessionaljourney Overnight,thehealthcareecosystem changed—clinicswereshut,consultations movedonline,andpatientslivingwithchronic conditionswereleftfeelingisolatedand anxious.Formany,evenbasicguidanceoninsulininjection techniquesorrightdietandnutritionbecameinaccessible. Thehumanconnectionbetweencliniciansandpatientswas disrupted,andthatwasheartbreakingtowitness.

Inthoseearlydays,Barnonarealizedthatsurvivalwasn’t justaboutbusinesscontinuity—itwasaboutrestoringtrust andenablingconversationsthatmattered.“Wecurateda customizedengagementprogramforpatientsandclinicians, designedtobridgethisgap.”Itwasn’tjustaboutmedical advice;itwasaboutcreatingasafespacefor dialogue—smalltalksthatreassuredpatients,discussions onmentalwell-beingduringdistress,andpracticalguidance onnutritionandlifestyle.

“ “ A ship is meant to sail in the ocean, not be anchored at the shore. When situations are demanding, face them, live them, and act on them.

“Throughvirtualplatforms,weenabledcliniciansto connectwiththeirpatientsinmeaningfulways,”sheadds. “Sessionscoveredinsulininjectiontechniques,dietand nutritioncounselling,andevenmentalhealthsupport, becauseweunderstoodthathealingisholistic.These initiativesdidn’tjustkeepthebusinessaﬂoat—they strengthenedrelationshipsandreinforcedourpurpose.”
