Statement or more information about what you like about your professional role? And/or why you decided to pursue your current role?

I am currently the Behavioral Heath Medical Director. I like that my role allows me to assist with the development of programs that will ensure that our patients are receiving evidenced based patient-centered care. Another thing that I like about my current position is that it allows me to train other providers.

Why do you like working at Edgewater Health?

I love the fact that Edgewater Health offers such a wide range of services and provides services to those persons who need it most irrespective of their ability to pay.

What is your approach to helping patients?

I treat patients like I would treat my family. I often tell my patients that I would not recommend treatment that I would not recommend to a family member who was dealing with the same issue that they might be dealing with.
