From Kalamazoo Anesthesiology's CEO, Dr. Vincent Pagano

“What I am most proud of is that people can change how they work with us as their lives change," said CEO Vince Pagano, MD. "Careers are long, and what someone needs early on may not be what they need later. We have worked hard to build a practice with enough different ways to work that our people rarely have to leave to find a better fit. They find it here, with colleagues who already know them. That is the kind of place I want to spend my own career, and I am grateful our team feels the same. 

The rest is simple. We listen to feedback, we give people agency in solving problems, and we hold a high bar on clinical care and on how we treat each other. This certification tells me our team feels that, and that means a great deal."
