Today's guest is Eileen Keefe, the Chief Nursing Officer at Parkland Medical Center in Derry, New Hampshire. Parkland Medical Center is part of the country's largest for-profit health system, HCA Healthcare.
This interview was special because Eileen is interviewed by her daughter Sara Elmendorf, a junior in Health Management and Policy here at UNH. Sara and Eileen talk about Eileen's career, starting as a nurse at Beth Israel Hospital , up through her role with Parkland. They conclude with a discussion of leadership, and Eileen gives advice to young people interested in pursuing a career in healthcare.
