Success story
As a Board Member of two national trade associations, I was selected to represent the homecare industry to testify before the U.S. Senate Finance Committee's Subcommittee on Health regarding Medicare Part B reimbursement and regulations. Also, during 360 Degree reviews at Apria Healthcare, my overall scores were the highest among all executives. I believe this is a testament to my ability to lead people of various backgrounds, be honest in difficult times and manage change effectively.
