“When you choose to work in Newport, you are not looking to be in the spotlight, so it’s wonderful to see this focus on rural pediatrics,” she said. “One of the surprising benefits of this pandemic has been the closer connection with pediatricians and to be more involved on a statewide level. I am immensely grateful for the trust of my patients, the support, outstanding quality, and dedication of my colleagues, and every person working at North Country Pediatrics and the maternal child health unit at North Country Hospital. Thanks for traveling this journey with me.”
