 Teaching is my passion. I've done it all my life. I am the ninth grade coordinator. In Northwestern High School at Prince Dorges County, which is in Hyatt'sville, I'm part of our teachers' union. One of the things that I share with my teachers is that I was born at Kaiser Permanente. My children were born there, and I have been a part of Kaiser Permanente every day of my life. I like the fact that everything is in one place. Your x-ray will be done there. The doctor will see you there. They're there for you. And then the nurses that work with you at Kaiser, they make you feel so at home. They're there to meet your needs. Other kinds of health care does not provide the kind of care or the options that Kaiser Permanente offers. I had bariatric bypass surgery. I would not be alive today if I had not had the surgery. I had an accident last year, and I was on a walker for three months. They made sure that I got support that I needed so I could get back up and get back to work. If a teacher came to me and wanted to know should they join Kaiser, I would gladly tell them, Kaiser is off the chain. Everything is in one place for you. I feel really, really great knowing there's a place that I can go to make sure that I can maintain good health on a regular basis.
