Coming to San Antonio for me was coming home. As a native Texan, San Antonio is where I began my journey as a new wife and nurse. My honeymoon with my husband of 20 years, Max, was at the Emily Morgan Hotel just across from the Alamo. Over the years, I’ve returned when I could to enjoy this beautiful city, and it’s warm and caring people. I’ve always hoped one day to be able to make San Antonio my home. I truly believe people are called to serve, and feel I was called to make the Stone Oak area my home, and am blessed to be part of the family of employees that will bring a level of service, and quality to the Stone Oak area that Methodist is known for. I hope you’ll join me on this journey and become a member of the Methodist Stone Oak family and share in enhancing the health of the community we serve.
