Commitment to Patient-Centered Care
“I am committed to working with patients and families to identify their unique needs, understand personal priorities and work collaboratively in goal setting to improve overall well-being. I value utilizing the expertise of the multidisciplinary care team and connecting patients to resources and community supports to meet non-medical needs, and see this as a key part of providing individualized, quality health care.”
