I have been taking care of hospital patients for over 40 years and believe my combination of experience and training should be helpful in continuing the excellent care for which Fox Chase is known. I am committed to good communication with patients, physicans, and other health care providers to assist in patient care. In my specialty, attention to detail is very important.
I appreciate the opportunity to help patients in the hospital with their recovery. They need special monitoring and careful therapy. I find it both challenging and very rewarding.
