At the Sloan Program in Health Administration, I found a place that encouraged me to cast a wide net on my career pursuits. I have been able to connect with several industry executives across the spectrum. It is a daily reminder that health care is not a solo act, and the Sloan Program has equipped me with the tools to be a valuable leader and teammate.
