"To make a difference in someone's life you don't have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful or perfect. You just have to care." - Mandy Hale
Born and raised in Romania until the age of 22, I was always passionate and interested in the medical field, patient care especially. As a Portland State University/OHSU graduate I was able and fortunate to use the knowledge and experience gained during my study and training years to open a few long-term care facilities where outstanding care is provided to our patients. Since excellent patient care and quality of life are my guiding principles in my work, I developed with the help of other professionals, these training courses that will help each student/ caregiver have a better understanding of what it takes to make a great impact in the lives of our patients. I hope you’re enjoying the learning materials as much as I enjoyed developing it!
Sincerely,
Raluca Stoica
