Q: You’ve been involved in planning NeighborHealth’s opening for a few years. What was it like for you when that first patient walked in the door?

A: I had an overwhelming sense of joy that we were finally able to begin serving the community as we had been in the “planning phase” for a number of years.  It was very gratifying.

Q:  How has your faith helped you along this journey?

A: I have been able to see God’s hand in the timing of our opening and in the way NHC has been given financial provision.  It is amazing!
