I started off with the challenging role of running my own Nursery, which helped me to develop the ability to liaise with other services and professional and subsequently allowed me to get the training required to manage, plan, and monitor the working environment ensuring the safety and well-being of the children and staff.

Leadership is such an ongoing and ever changing topic that it is very important to study and take in as much knowledge as you can from courses or other tools such as books.

Practices or activities related to strategic planning Last week, I spoke with Reynaldo Paulino MD about his strategic planning and how this practice has helped Arenoso Hospital to achieve many objectives that have been proposed during these last years.

Perspective on Health Care HCS 212 February 13, 201 Perspective on Health Care When asked what interests me about the history of health care I would answer with the statement: possessing the knowledge of personal health information to make informed choices about my health and the health of those close to me.

Having information on health care will enhance my level of communication when I enter the field, but also make me better able to interact with my doctor and other health care professionals on my health.

Having lost a close friend way to young, I am determined to live a healthy, full, and meaningful life.
