My favorite thing about her is that “she actively listens, and is committed to making sure that we do the right thing for our staff and patients.” With my 20+ years of working in healthcare, I’ve found that many leaders at Kate’s level will hear us tell them things, but don’t really listen… she 100% does. THANK YOU, KATE!!
