Why UC Davis Health:
UC Davis Health is the hospital I dreamed of working for ever since I was a little girl who
sat in the waiting room for many hours to hear how surgery went after family and friends
of mine had been medi-flighted to UCDH. I have always dreamed of when I would be
able to provide families and their loved ones life saving medical care, giving back like
those who had given to me.
