“UW Medicine serves the WWAMI region. We’re really known as a very high-quality healthcare system, especially in tertiary referral services. And we need to make that more efficient and more accessible for our communities. It’s just not reasonable to make people have to fly out to Seattle to see a specialist. 

Overall, one big initiative is just to decrease healthcare disparities while still pushing the envelope and moving forward, and that’s easier said than done.”
