My Biography

Kaiser Permanente’s one-fee comprehensive service plan is the wave of the future. After working in fee-for-service environments, I was curious to see how an integrated health care model could work. I found that it works beautifully, and provides numerous advantages for our members. Providers enjoy facilitated communication amongst themselves, patients receive coordinated acre, and the model has systems in place to ensure patients keep up with routine medical care, an important part of Kaiser Permanente’s emphasis on prevention.

Clinical care is very rewarding. In my dept, close teamwork translates into excellent personalized care for our patients and fosters high staff morale. I am particularly interested in balance issues and neurological disorders, areas where the opportunities for treatment intervention are quite varied. As needed, I collaborate with the Physical Therapy Department regarding care of patients also being seen there.

I keep active through playing tennis every week, patronizing farmers’ markets, healthy eating, and completing a 5- or 6-mile walk each week, with a group that successfully walked an entire marathon together!

Outside of work, I enjoy reading fiction, and I belong to a book group that’s been meeting for 25 years! Salman Rushdie is one of my favorite authors; his writing is so rich and dense. Midnight’s Children is a favorite title.
