How did your military service shape your approach to health care?
The military taught me what teamwork in health care should really look like. As a biomedical science officer and captain in the Air Force, I saw that there was always a full team behind the patient: a psychiatrist, a nurse, a social worker, a psychologist and a discharge planner, all working toward the same goal. Nobody operated alone.
