Why I Joined Carevive
My original career path was to become a physician. After graduating from college, I worked at a software company that created a practice management system for physicians, using the programming skills I developed from a childhood love of computers. I was soon hooked on the challenges that the healthcare IT market provides and abandoned my medical school plans.
In 1999, I embraced the opportunity to deliver one of the first internet-based, SaaS practice management software systems, CareWide. This opportunity taught me the value of small, highly motivated teams and their use of Agile methodologies.
Like too many of us, cancer has affected my life in many ways. In 2017, shortly after losing my father to pancreatic cancer, I was offered an opportunity to join the Carevive team. After reviewing the product, meeting the team, and hearing the vision for the company, I knew that I needed to be part of the team. Carevive’s products transform the way cancer care is delivered, both for patients and care providers.
