TRANSCRIPT: I had two sons that were actually both born into NICU. It was the comfort that these nurses and healthcare workers were giving to me, and I just thought: this is something that I want to do. I love working at Angel Medical Center. My mission and all of our mission is just really truly for the greater good of our patients. You know?

There's no place that I'd rather be.
