“When the COVID-19 pandemic hit. I instantly felt how much my team and those we served depended on me. I wanted to achieve at a higher level and be of greater service to my community. The greatest experience was learning with other healthcare professionals from across the country, continent, world, and spectrum of healthcare. The perspective I gained could not have been developed from within my community or organization alone.”
