This Hispanic Heritage Month we celebrate Veronica Blasini, our hospital's Public Benefits Advisor. Vernonica loves to interact with people and feels it is her calling. "I help people with their insurance struggles, and especially if you are going through a traumatic situation, paperwork can be burdensome. I try to break it down and walk them through any fears - so that they can focus on themselves and healing. Working with an excellent team who are all as passionate as I am makes the work easier. We collaborate a lot with case management and working for the best fit for a patient after discharge who needs continuing care." We salute you Veronica and all our wonderful Hispanic colleagues! #hispanicheritagemonth
