“I am interested in this program as a way to further develop my professional skills and get to know other healthcare providers in this market. I’ve heard from others within Baptist Health that the Health Enterprises Network is a great way to do both. I’m especially interested in a deeper understanding of healthcare in this region. Specifically, how I can make a positive impact on health disparities and community need. Through professional development and connections with instructors and participants in the Healthcare Fellows Program, I hope to broaden my influence and help make a difference in Louisville.”
