MGH | Rise News
She spoke on every issue that needed to be addressed, adding a soft touch of sincerity and care while touching on healthcare disparities and what it will take for our community to build trust in the health establishment.
It’s always a good feeling knowing we have people like Andrea in the world. Most hero’s wear red capes but others simply where a white coat.
