Western Mass. Woman Owned.
Small Business, Big Commitment.
Woman Owned.
Being a local, woman-owned healthcare business means that I am able to build a business blueprint of my own. I am able to put my values into everything I do at my company & I get to make decisions based on the people and the community that I know.
Quality healthcare should feel personal, accessible, and centered around the people we serve. Being a locally owned business allows us to provide effective service without losing the personal touch. Every patient interaction is an opportunity to restore faith in the healthcare system.
I'm proud of where I came from, proud of what I've built, and excited to continue building something that makes a real difference right here in Western Massachusetts.
Why: Built from a Need & Driven by a Purpose.
Western Massachusetts has always been home to me. I grew up in Springfield, and later attended Belchertown High School. I graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus.
After completing my Bachelor’s Degree, I worked at Noble Hospital, Marylane Hospital and Wing Hospital as an emergency room technician. These hospitals are where I learned the true value of community based care.
While working for these hospitals at night, I attended Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences where I earned my Master of Physician Assistant Studies and began practicing in 2019.
As I worked in healthcare as a provider, I started noticing things that were hard to ignore. I saw people struggling to find care when they needed it as local community hospitals closed around them. As I continued to practice medicine, the obvious gaps in patient access to care were harder for me to ignore.
Eventually, I decided that if I wanted to see change, I must create it. And here we are. Starting a healthcare business has not been easy. There have been long days, difficult decisions, moments of uncertainty, and plenty of times when I had to figure things out as I went. For example, creating this website. But along the learning curve there has been an undeniable sense of purpose in knowing that I am building something that can genuinely help people in the communities I call home.
Western Massachusetts.
While there are several towns and cities with different make up, one thing remains true: In Western Massachusetts, we are all part of “one big small town”.
In this area, you can always find a friend of a friend, and people really do show up for each other. These connections are everywhere, and they’re a big part of what makes this place feel like home.
Honesty, integrity, compassion and caring go a long way here, especially when it comes to your healthcare. The hope of this virtual health company is to bring the small town approach back into practical healthcare.
These small town communities that I grew up in have shaped who I am, and they are the communities that inspired me to build something of my own.
