From Basketball Coach to Pennant Leader
“I spent 27 years coaching basketball, from high school to international pro in Japan. When that chapter ended, what stood out to me about Pennant was that they are a leadership company that does healthcare. As a coach, I loved influencing people and developing talent, and Pennant gives me that same opportunity.
Just as important as caring for patients, is developing leaders who can impact their communities in meaningful ways. When people work together with that purpose, the change is incredible.“
