Sue Diehl
Sue did a fantastic presentation to the Board and Management Team regarding
what the imaging department does and how each area works. It was
informative, educational and timely. Sue was able to take complex diagnostic
scans and explain them so that each person could understand and was engaged
through the entire presentation. The variety of diagnostic scans that are
available at VCHS is remarkable. Thank you for the wonderful
presentation.
Congratulations!
