Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I truly enjoy working with people from all walks of life. I strive to listen, treat each patient as a whole and collaborate with every patient to help them achieve optimum health. 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? The primary care provider should be the cornerstone of the care team. It should be our responsibility to treat as many of the patient's health concerns as we can, including both physical and mental aspects, and to actively collaborate with other providers that are involved in each patient's care. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy spending time outside camping, fishing and UTV riding with my husband and two boys. I also enjoy reading and enjoying all genres of music.
