My Why:

We all have regrets in life. One of mine was allowing others to dissuade me from joining the military. However, I have always maintained a desire to get as close as possible to serving military members and first responders. I am deeply grateful for those who protect our nation and serve locally when emergencies arise. Though my time to join the military has long gone, I consider it an honor to provide healthcare to people who are brave enough to do what I did not. “My why” is driven by a profound commitment to contribute positively to the health and well-being of service members and their families.
