“I am proud to be a YNHHS healthcare hero. In my primary care office, my co-workers and I had to put on new hats and help patients in new and different ways than we were used to. Whether it was assisting them in setting up a MyChart account, helping with telemedicine visits or lending an ear to listen and assure them they were not in this alone. Our patients faced new obstacles and barriers to getting the care and resources they needed during this pandemic, and I did not take no for an answer in getting them the care they required during this difficult time. Putting patients first is my number one priority.”
