What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? Working as a healthcare provider gives me the reward of building relationships and being able to provide help to those in need. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? The role of a primary care provider should be to provide preventive care and teach healthy lifestyle choices while taking into account the patient's beliefs and values. By taking into account the patient's beliefs and values a plan can be developed to provide the best care for each individual patient. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time I enjoy hiking with my dog, spending time with my family, and cooking.
