Easter Holiday

San Jose was closed for the Easter Holiday, so I was not able to volunteer this week either. However, I will be more involved in the coming weeks since Tri-Beta is working with San Jose for their Art with Heart fundraiser. Now that I'm familiar with the place, I am excited to help in any way I can.

The global economic recession has really hit home for me lately and made me realize just how much the health care industry is affected by it. My mother owns her own plastic surgery clinic, but with the down economy, people are not coming in for elective surgery. Patients cannot afford unnecessary surgery or time off from work, and this has really hit the company hard.

Plastic and cosmetic surgery runs under differing circumstances compared to health care covered by insurance and extremely differently than a place like San Jose. Events lately have me really looking at the logistics behind organizations and how things are really run from a financial aspect. This is the side of health care people do not see.

Anyways, happy Easter!
