RHR EXPERIENCE
JUST FOR FUN! What movie could you watch over and over? I have a great fondness for Breakfast at Tiffany’s . The Big Chill is another one – I love the soundtrack in that movie. What was the last book you read? I read a lot of books, probably two or three a week. One that stands out is Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens – it was so well-written that you easily get absorbed into the story. Where is your favorite travel destination? We love spending time at our cabin, but in terms of big trips, I would pick the South of France. I’m French by background and feel a unique sense of home and belonging when I’m there, as if I’m with my people. Where is your favorite place to eat? My husband is an excellent cook, so I enjoy his meals at home. I like The Sample Room and The Sonder Shaker in Northeast Minneapolis, as well. The latter has outstanding Tuna Poke Nachos!
How were you fi rst introduced to RHR? I worked with Rajat Relan [founder of RHR] at Blue Cross Blue Shield and he reached out to me when he first considered forming the Advisory Committee. I was one of the first to work with him and get involved!
How long have you been on the Advisory Committee for RHR? I have been on the Advisory Committee since it was formed seven years ago.
What has been your favorite panel so far? There have been so many informative panels! One that really stands out was ‘Debunking the Myths of Behavioral Health & Technology’ with panelists from MOBE, Ginger, and Optum. They shared about innovative, virtual programs and challenged one another in a way that I really appreciated. Who would you love to see on a panel someday? More than a specific individual, I would love to see an upcoming panel centered on the topic of for-profit healthcare versus not-for-profit healthcare and the models that emerge as a result. It would be interesting to discuss what offers a better contribution to society.
