![]() When people come into our pharmacy, it's usually not their best day. The way that we communicate and the way that we support each other is just wonderful and how we come together to help our patients. The people are my favorite thing about this job. Now I'm a pharmacist here working at Allina. And I had such a wonderful time learning and growing not only professionally, but personally. I was able to get a portion of my school paid for through the Allina Health Tuition Reimbursement program to help me support myself so I could focus on school when I needed to. And after working as a technician for about four or five years, I made the decision to go to pharmacy school. I really felt a sense of fulfillment with helping people. I started working as a pharmacy cashier when I was 16 years old. I feel that Allina is focused not only on the well being of patients- hopefully you start feeling better in the first couple days- but they're also focused on the well being of their employees. And we're going to see the fruits of our labors because that's going to make us all better I'm hoping that in 10 years, these students are going to come back and work at Faribault Medical Center. ![]() I want these kids to figure out where their best path lies. to make sure that they can really see themselves doing that work. This is such a fun thing for teenagers who are interested in health care careers. So we borrowed the idea for a scrub club from our colleagues at New Ulm. There's a saying in the equity world- you have to see it to be it. We're going to show you how to put in an IV. We also have an obligation to bring up the next generation. We really strive to care for every patient, regardless of which door they walk through and give them the same excellent care no matter how they enter the Allina Health care system. And I have spent most of my career doing immigrant medicine and caring for people who are immigrants and refugees. So I'm one of those people who just, from the time I was a little kid, I always knew I was going to be a doctor. And I'm the director of medical affairs at Faribault Medical Center. And I work here because I know that every single member of my team is going to take great care of you with me, or if I'm not available, instead of me. Where you work matters a little bit, but who you work with matters a lot.
