Public Health, Women’s Health, Volunteerism (Cathy Romeo) – CP014

May 11, 2018

Kevin talks with Cathy about her early career; as an Executive Assistant (leveraging her Katherine Gibbs School credentials), and how that evolved into a second career in Public Health, with a focus on an emerging specialty - Women's Health. She shares the importance of a decision to volunteer for a role in a non-profit organization that led to a lifelong career journey of growth and fulfillment. She describes the changes that followed, including volunteer-to-paid, part-time to full-time, local affiliation to National; and working in clinics, then prisons, and finally training healthcare workers for the sensitive role of working with patients of all different cultures, in the home setting.
