building healthy community relationships

---

Hi there and welcome!  I've had an interesting career from medical device and pharma sales to HR Professional and consultant, in different capacities finding myself with exposure to the medical community.  Over the course of time there are a few things that bothered me:

• Most doctors, despite their discipline, operate on an island. They spend their days walking from “Room 1” to “Room 2” to “Room 3” with mountains of paperwork in-between. Even if they wanted to be a part of a community... who has the time?
• Each person these medical leaders encounter during the "1, 2, 3, paperwork" routine wants something from them. The patient wants their care, the staff wants their attention/advice, and of course, sales reps want their money.
• If I'm a true HR Professional, guided by serving people and creating positive environments why can I not do more to bring people together in a more meaningful and 'human' way?  

The question then begs, who is serving our medical professionals? Who wants nothing from them except to honor them?  Who will help us build this community? 

Medical Professionals Tampa Bay provides our community with a platform to do just that!  MP's vision is to connect the top physicians, specialists, healthcare leaders, and hospital executives in a new and refreshing way. Tampa Bay hosts one of the South’s most respected healthcare systems, however, “community” over the varied disciplines is lacking. Maintaining relationships and staying informed is time consuming and it takes effort. 

At MP Tampa Bay, we believe that we can change that by connecting the personal and professional lives of healthcare practitioners to their colleagues. We believe that by creating a connected healthcare community we will have a positive impact towards quality healthcare for patients, putting the 'human' back into healthcare.

I'm excited to celebrate the innovators, the movers and shakers and thought leaders in the medical field that keep our Tampa Bay community learning, growing and thriving! I'm grateful to everyone who supports this world class medical community and make this platform possible!

Please reach out to help build and support this community.
