"I am now in my 40th year at SOMC. The staff and Managment I have worked with over the years have been very encouraging and supportive when it comes to leadership. I have been very fortunate to be the Lead Patient Representative for almost 30 of those years. I get to work with and help all my customers, patients, staff, doctors, vendors, anyone who has a question, a need or a problem fixed. It has been very rewarding working at SOMC all these years."
