Tricia Grantham has substantial work experience in the medical industry, including work as a medical social worker. She also has a degree in social work and a minor in aging from San Diego State University. In the past she worked at a home health and hospice organization that taught her about disease processes, patient/family/physician dynamics and the hospital’s role as a leader in the delivery of healthcare. “I believe that one of the most important attributes hospital leadership exhibits is the commitment to creating an environment where staff can learn, improve and grow professionally as individuals and as team members,” Grantham added. “They recognize how crucial these values and overall philosophy are to achieving quality patient care.”
