Why are you passionate about the Clinic?

I am passionate about the Clinic because I see how it serves people. Ever since my first encounter with the Clinic in 2013, I have had a heart for this wonderful team and the community that it serves. It continues to amaze me the people that have been seen and treated in this facility and the care that is provided. Serving the Plain community is such a privilege and joy and I hope to continue to grow from working alongside the patients, their families, and the Clinic professionals.
