Ive seen firsthand how a positive outlook can affect health outcomes. Therefore, my goal is to make patients feel comfortable with our care and confident in the information we provide to help them self-manage between visits, says Ms. Soroka.Ms. Soroka was drawn to a career in health care after volunteering on her local First Aid Squad.
