Mary R. Smith

Clinical Research Assistant

Community Family Medicine – Research

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

It is really rewarding for me to be able to help patients. I still have patients that I run into who are always saying hello and thank you. Also, meeting and working with the wonderful staff of doctors, nurses and co-workers.

What inspires you?

Working in the MS-CQI Collaborative has been very inspirational. Our goal is "Improving MS Care Together!"

What do you like best about your department?

I was able to help in a program that provides peer support through peer mentors and increases access to wellness services for Multiple Sclerosis patients who have limited support systems.

How has COVID-19 affected your work?

Since COVID-19, I miss the camaraderie of our MS-CQI Collaborative Staff monthly meetings. They always left you with feelings of friendliness, goodwill and familiarity among the group. Working together has helped us face the challenges of COVID-19.
