“I never truly understood the expanse of the medical field. The truth is, the practitioners couldn’t perform without administrative support.�
Sarah Vincent says growing up, her family had its share of medical emergencies – heart attacks, strokes and cancer.
“I ended up spending a lot of time in hospitals,� Sarah says.
So much time that she took it as a sign and studied biomedical science and then landed a job in a pain clinic in Denver where she saw both the clinical and administrative sides of the business.
The job also shed light on a misconception Sarah says she’d always held: that the only way to help people was to become a doctor, nurse or lab worker. But in her job, she regularly saw how communication and teamwork led to good patient outcomes.
“I never truly understood the expanse of the medical field,� she says. “The truth is, the practitioners couldn’t perform without administrative support.�
The epiphany sent Sarah searching for a degree that would let her play the role she knew she wanted to play. She just needed the right supporting cast.
And after her search, she found that support at °®ÒºAƬ’s MHA program.
“I was worried because I’d had been out of school for two years,� she says.
A worry that soon melted away. “The MHA staff and my classmates, who are now friends, were always willing to help – they gave me what I needed to finish.�
Sarah sees the link: she got the support she needed at MHA so she can give her future cohorts the support they’ll need.
Life and healthcare – about helping one another. A lesson Sarah will never forget.
