Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I am passionate about being a healthcare provider because I have a strong desire to make a positive impact on people's lives. Being able to help others in their journey towards better health and well-being brings me immense satisfaction and fulfillment. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? The role of a primary care provider is to provide comprehensive care for patients by addressing both their physical health and behavioral health needs. They should conduct thorough assessments, offer preventive measures, diagnose and treat physical and mental health conditions, coordinate care with specialists, and provide ongoing support and management for patients' overall well-being. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am a candle maker and have been since COVID kept me at home for a short time in 2020. I also spend much of my free time traveling with my daughter who is a World Champion equestrian and competes on the Quarter Horse Circuit.
