For over 20 years, I have been employed in a diverse healthcare setting. As an EMT paramedic, working in the community, hospital floor care, as well as private practice allows me to bring the medical perspective and insight that helps bridge our frontline program with emergency department staff. I also integrate health care information and referrals into HRC’s mission to empower and educate the at risk population we serve and to provide assurance that help is available to them. My goal is to continue to make connections with the community hospitals and 1st responding agencies because it is imperative that we connect and build relationships that allows us to come together, work together and learn from each other so we can victoriously combat the alcohol and other drug crisis in our city and save lives.
