"Coming to HHS has been the most challenging and rewarding career move I have made. I love being a part of the hospital management team and motivating my team each and every day. I have had the pleasure of having a great mentor, Vice President of EVS Larry Yeager, and I would like to thank him for always believing in me and helping me strive for a higher level with HHS."
