Health care is a universal right. Everyone deserves access to respectful and individualized care. I like being part of Alivio’s mission of filling the gap in the U.S. healthcare system. In daily practice, I enjoy getting to know each patient as individuals, tailoring the health plan to their needs. Over the years, it is the relationship with patients that gives me energy and hope to continue my work.
