Episode 13: Dr. Laura Purdy, COO & Co-Founder Of MD Integrations

Dr. Laura Purdy immediately inspired me. Talk about someone who is making a tremendous difference, all while demonstrating flexibility and ingenuity in these ever-changing times. I also love how she shares how telehealth has given back the “freedom of choice,” so that as a doctor, she can find more of a work-life balance. As she shares, we are “standing on the edge of change.” The way she is advocating for the mental health of our healthcare providers is beyond necessary.
