The bulk of my career was in the private sector. Now,
having come here into this hospital in my 40-year career,
this is the happiest that I've ever been. The colleagues that

very difficult patient population into clinical care teams.
She's demonstrated that she's a champion, and Dr. White

department. It isn't just words - we truly believe that.
