As an Area Medical Director, I’m visiting hospitals and I’m there for my teams, but also working from home. My schedule affords me flexibility in my other role as a new mom. I feel empowered by my leadership team to adjust my schedule as needed, and it’s honestly such a sense of freedom to balance work and life in a way that works best for me.
