Jenny Kim, MHA
Director of Operations III, Lake Forest Hospital
“It is a privilege to work in health care serving our communities. However, as we take care of our patients and staff members daily, we also see that there are inequities and challenges that go beyond the clinical support we can provide. Thru Team NM, we are able to mobilize our staff to partner with key not-for-profit organizations in our communities that align with our own mission to serve and improve the overall health of our communities. Sometimes that starts with providing food, housing or providing labor for a service project.”
Jason Lakemacher
Admin Operations Coordinator, RMG Dermatology & OBGYN
“I volunteer with Team NM to give back to the communities we serve. According to the Blue Zones, a sense of community is an important factor in leading a long and healthy life.”
Tiffany McReynolds, MHA
CME Specialist
"I volunteer with Team NM because I want to help those in the communities that NM serves. The people that we are helping might never step foot into an NM facility but the work that we are doing in those underserved communities, show that the reach of our NM community goes beyond providing for those that are in need of medical attention."
