I’ve always been drawn to improving the healthcare experience for patients and providers after experiencing the complexities of our healthcare system firsthand as a patient. My goal with each client engagement is to create opportunities to provide the best experience for patients and staff at all levels. ECG has afforded me the opportunity to meet this goal and have an impact on improving the lives of everyone involved in the healthcare setting.
