What do you enjoy most about being a primary care provider?
I love my long-term relationships with patients. I feel so lucky to be an ongoing part of my patients' lives. Patients often come in to see their PCP at a pivotal time in their lives: college physicals, new jobs, new babies. I get to cheer patients on through episodes of grief, tough diagnoses, and major lifestyle changes.
Why did you choose Bon Secours Health System?
My husband stays home with our children, and I'm the breadwinner, so having a job with good benefits was important for my family. Bon Secours is very supportive of their employees' health, and that is what initially attracted me to this group. However, I have been so pleased with the high quality EMR, the transparency in the budget, and the organization of the whole health system.
What do you enjoy outside of work?
My children are young, so right now we spend our evenings puttering around in the garden, waging epic Candyland battles, and doing baking soda science experiments. I'm living the life!
