What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? The ability to help people who are in need of medical care is a privilege and an art form. I'm passionate about making a difference in a positive way. 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? To consider prevention and the "whole" mind, body and spirit in achieving optimal health and wellness. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love to spend time with family and friend as well as travel and basking in nature (hiking, climbing, kayaking, biking, running).
