Here at Wellpath, we are often asked what our why is. And my why stems back to my childhood. My dad was a correctional professional and he held titles ranging from staff psychologist, hostage negotiator to deputy warden. And throughout the years I recall him saying that his profession had the ability to change lives. And when you stop and think what we do here at Wellpath, the ability to care for others on a daily basis, we truly do get the opportunity to change the trajectory of people's lives on a daily basis. And that is my why.
