I remember the day like it was yesterday. It was a brisk afternoon in mid-March 2001, nearly 20 years ago. I had completed two interviews with the hospital board and now was attending a final session with the hospital leadership team and board at a social event at Paumanok Vineyards. As the sun set over the vines, a light snow began to fall. It was one of those beautiful scenes that are so common to the North Fork. Talk about incredible moments, between the scenery and camaraderie that day, I knew I wanted to become part of this amazing organization.
