I live for the passion which I have for medicine.
I live that I am doing something different in somebody’s life
that’s making them live healthier.
That’s the passion which motivates me to work every day.
I like the most when working for Optum.
I can give you a 30 minute talk on that.
The most thing that I love about.... the diverse culture.
The value of being compassionate and equitable care
we provide our patients.
And Optum is… you know, especially from the top,
from the senior management to my colleagues,
I really feel like I am at home.
My cup runneth over.
I feel like I’m working with my family.
There’s a practice in Manhattan.
They were very, very resistant of joining our program,
so it took me at least three months to speak with that practice.
And then after joining our program,
that practice actually is at 4.5 stars in CMS rating.
They were able to capture those chronic kidney conditions
which were unnoticed
or that they were not capturing before.
Don’t take failure as a step back or as a step down.
Learn from your failures, think about the next step,
what you’re going to take in your life,
and learn from it.
