What is your day job? Who was the patient safety awareness speaker?
Hi Lindsay, I work for a medical software company full-time. I spearhead our corporate wellness program and do some career development work as well. Our patient safety awareness speaker was Dr. McKay from Avera out in South Dakota. She was great!
I’m so excited about the 82 push-ups – lots of new ones to try over there – can’t wait!!!
