"The employees that I see when I go to my appointments are excellent at SEARHC. They’re professional, they’re pleasant, they’re kind. I think the main issue is the upper echelons, who we hardly ever get to reach or talk to."
— Dr. Marilyn Coruzzi (quoted in KCAW news)"I heard so many times – I heard about the great care that you are already receiving when you get into that exam room with your providers, so that was inspiring to me, and we don’t want that just some of the time. We want that all of the time."
