Notable Quote: “In five years, I’ve expanded access to and advanced care for the elderly in Sonoma and neighboring counties throughout Northern California.”

Other things about me...

Greatest professional accomplishment:

In addition to establishing a new program to provide care for older adults with memory issues, my greatest professional accomplishment is successfully expanding my program to provide more comprehensive care for older adults under one roof, including medication management and frailty, as well as providing training and partnering with other medical disciplines and organizations on the complexities of care for older adults.

Next professional goal:

Discuss the model and efficacy of providing comprehensive care for older adults with other Kaiser Permanente Medical Centers and provide advice and guidance on establishing similar models of care based on local patient demographics.

Greatest professional challenge:

Navigating a healthcare system with which I wasn’t familiar to successfully create a new, much needed, comprehensive care program for older adults and their caregivers.
