I double-checked along the way to make sure that my interests and passion were still aligned with medicine, but I have essentially ""never looked back""! | Community involvement | For many years prior to arriving at Lehigh Valley Health Network in 2012, I was very involved with a student-run free clinic in Newark, N.J.
