When we asked Amy to briefly share her vision for Cardiopulmonary rehab and why she wants to be a regional VP and this is what she shared.
| “I would be honored to be our Regional Vice President. NCCRA is an incredible organization which I am very fortunate to be a member of. NCCRA has been a valued and prominent resource for myself and my organization. Cardiac and pulmonary rehab are evolving, among other things, due to COVID-19 and technology. I believe it is critically important to evolve and think outside the box to deliver cardiac and pulmonary rehab programming in new and unique ways to meet the needs of the diverse population of patients that we are committed to serving. I consider myself a life-long learner and cannot overstate the importance of education and networking in this specialty, in which NCCRA leads the way. I want to be a part of and give my time and talent to this organization that has such an important impact on the lives of those affected by cardiac and pulmonary disease.” |
