On becoming a healthcare provider…

Jodi chose to become a healthcare provider because she has always been intrigued by the human body and how it works. “I had excellent science and biology teachers that inspired me to go into healthcare,” she said. “I also enjoy the challenge of caring for patients in the ER.”

On being patient-centered…

Amberwell Health focuses on patient-centered care. We ask each of our providers to tell us what being patient-centered means to them personally.

“Healthcare is always a better experience when both the medical provider and the patient can make decisions that work for both of them,” said Jodi. “The patient needs the education to help them understand the process and the provider can guide them as they go through testing and treatment.”
