“I feel so blessed and am so thankful to have been with AWHS for over 27 years now. I know how lucky I am to love what I do and that I look forward to going to work every day. I love working in the same community that I live in, as well as grew up in. I have had the pleasure of taking care of women in all stages of their lives. We have grown, laughed, and even cried together, celebrated together as well, and questioned why some things happen that seem so unfair. Some of my patients have become some of my closest friends. Some of my friends and family have entrusted me to take care of them and their loved ones. I now have several patients that I see four generations of their family members. I love what I do and want to thank each and every person who has been a part of this journey with me.”
