When asked why she is glad to be a part of the IHN and its commitment to excellence, Clarine shares, “I’m glad to be part of IHN because I believe in the mission and guiding principles. By being patient-focused the IHN is able to meet individuals right where they are and offer those who are falling through the cracks of the healthcare system the best care possible. I am excited to be a CRC because I am given the opportunity to work in the St. Louis community and enhance continuity of care and ensure individuals who come into the ED have access to preventative care!”
