My history? Not your typical grant writer.
You get the benefit of hiring a senior manager, social worker, planner, facilitator, and QI/Outcomes specialist. That's because this is my third career.
Before I threw out my suits and pantyhose I spent over twenty years as a hospital administrator. I implemented system-wide quality improvement and outcome management plans. I chaired the system-wide information systems task force. I managed ambulatory services, including the emergency departments and private physicians' practices.
My earliest career? I started out as a medical social worker. That gave me a rich experience working with a wide range of people in crisis.
All that experience comes into play when I work with your staff. Does the program actually address the need? Is the budget reasonable? Do you have the capacity to be sucessful implementing the program?
They design the program. I ask the questions that will be on the funder's mind..
