What is your fondest memory from your 25 years working at Dartmouth-Hitchcock?

It is hard to single out one memory from my time at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. As I reflect on the last 25 years, the thing that strikes me the most is the countless fond memories that I have of the patients I cared for and the dedicated teams I have worked with.

What about your job/work inspires you?

As part of my role in Quality Assurance and Safety I am able to directly impact systems issues that stand in the way of patient safety ultimately creating a safer environment for our patients, families and staff.

What do you like best about working for your department?

I am surrounded by a great team and strong leadership with a joint purpose of improving quality and safety for all patients.
