Natalie Workman
Role at the Health Center: Physician Center Manager in the departments of Endocrinology, Rheumatology, Family Practice,
and for the Health Center at Licking Heights. My favorite part of working in healthcare: My favorite part about healthcare is building relationships with your patients and staff. I like establishing trust with the children and adolescents so they understand that you are there for them, and that we are their advocate for all needs.
I think school health is important because: School-based health centers help achieve equal healthcare for all children and adolescents, giving them access to various types of care in a convenient location that is invested in the success of students.
My advice for patients: Put yourself first when it comes to your healthcare, mentally or physically. If you are not in the right space, you cannot care for someone else to true capacity. Your self-health matters the most.
