"I am deeply honored to receive the 2024 Distinguished Clinician Award at Mayo Clinic, an institution renowned for its world-class experts and leaders in healthcare. This recognition reflects the dedication and excellence of the entire team I am fortunate to be part of, as we continually strive to enhance patient care and outcomes while fostering a supportive environment in caring for each other.
This is also a testament to the collaborative spirit that defines Mayo Clinic, where the patient is always at the center of everything we do. I am inspired daily by all of you to do my best. Whether delivering care at Mayo Clinic or volunteering in the public health domain to support vulnerable populations, I am proud to uphold Mayo’s values and unwavering commitment to holistically improving lives. Thank you again for this tremendous honor."
