My journey has given me valuable experience in daily operations across departments, and my role as a leader has brought a true sense of purpose. I feel fortunate to work with an outstanding team committed to exceptional patient care, and I proudly share this award with my 4A Devine Street multispecialty team.”
Lena Rodriguez, MA II
Internal Medicine
5 Durham Road, Guilford, CT
“Patients don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. The emphasis on ‘comforting always’ signifies the importance of safety, empathy and understanding patient needs beyond just medical interventions. To cure sometimes, to relieve often, but to comfort always, is how I go about the start of each day, keeping in mind that the secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient.”
