Brain Tumor Survivor Applauds Kaiser Permanente's Warm, Diverse Culture

Eight weeks after neurosurgery on Kaiser Permanente's (KP) 5th floor in Redwood City, I received a phone call from KP freelance writer Kim Hayes. "Staff read your feedback about your experience here and found it compelling," she said. "If you're willing to be interviewed for our in-house publication, we would be delighted!"

Less than a split second passed and "Yes!" squealed from my mouth. Here is the piece, published yesterday. I have been given permission to share it. Accompanied by a photo taken by beloved Petaluma photographer Paige Green, I'm beyond smitten.

Those were days I will never forget. Here I am with my daughter and mother. Photo credit and my whole heart of thanks goes to: Paige Green Photography.
