Company description
As a past pediatric patient at Dartmouth Health, it’s an honor to come full circle and take the role of care provider. I’ll never forget how my pediatrician went beyond my medical concerns to get to know me as a person. He was always curious about how I was doing in school and at home, and whether I had picked up new hobbies. I aspire to take a similar path. I’m privileged to meet different patients and families daily. Those interactions present the perfect opportunity to talk about wellness and preventive health practices. I discuss: Food choices Sleep routines Physical activity Ways to decrease stress The mind-body connection When people learn healthy lifestyle practices early, they are more likely to carry them into adulthood and pass those practices on to future generations. My role is to help introduce and maintain those beneficial habits. I love being in a position to not only share recommendations but learn from patients as well. Hearing about their interests and aspirations is a joy. There are challenging moments in pediatrics for sure, but there is also so much fun and hope. The honesty, resiliency and creativity of children continue to inspire me. By working together, patients, families, clinicians, supporting staff and I can provide care that fits each unique need. Collaborating with a passionate team means I’m constantly learning and growing. It’s the support I need to achieve my goal of providing the best pediatric care possible.
