Key Quotes:
- “Our goal is to provide people with choices, because not everyone will fit into the bill of medication management, or they may have to look for alternative therapies. And so, this is just giving patients options and choices.” – Dr. Kim Sandberg, DNP, CRNA
- “I don’t think everything can be done on telehealth. I think there are still some things that you have to come in and be seen in person. But, I think that there can be a nice balance and I think for the benefit of both the patients as well as the providers that we should continue to be able to have the option to have telehealth.” – Dr. Kim Sandberg, DNP, CRNA
- “If you’re sick, stay home. I think some of those little simple things that we did during the pandemic are really things that we just have to sort of make everyday life.” – Dr. Kim Sandberg, DNP, CRNA
