Your trajectory
As a Chief Medical Officer and Medical Director, I’m no stranger to the demands of running a health center. I know what it’s like to be pulled in too many directions – securing funding and accreditation, tracking quality, retaining employees, participating in research, solving day-to-day problems… Unfortunately, it’s all too common to spend your days in survival mode rather than thriving and making a difference.
But my years of experience have also taught me that it doesn’t have to be that way. I started Sol because I believe you can break through and get back to why you started doing this in the first place. It’s as simple as taking the next right step.
