Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I have always had a passion for helping others in their time of need. Patients and their families require convenient, cost-effective medical care with a Provider they know and can trust. Medicine is the ability to transform lives. 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? A patient's overall well-being is based upon their physical and psychological health. When one of these elements is "off" the health of the patient can suffer. My goal as a Primary Care Provider is to ensure that both elements remain balanced. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my free time, I spend time with my husband and daughter. Gardening, horses, anything outside always brightens my day!
