35. From Journalism to Healthcare Administration with Kaitlyn Chana | The CAREPreneur Show
Episode 35
Thursday, 13 January, 2022
This week's guest of The CAREpreneur Show is very special, a recent graduate from the University of North Florida and most importantly my sister, Kaitlyn Chana! Kaitlyn's CAREpreneurial spirit came at a young age. When she was a child she started a non-profit called, Love Letters, which she used to write cards to children who had life-threatening illnesses. She loved inspiring these children and bringing encouragement to them during this difficult time. Growing up, she had always been fascinated with journalism from watching Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America. She loved having the latest information and the opportunity to share it with others in a story like fashion. During Kaitlyn's journalism career she was given the opportunity to work with Mayo Clinic. This opportunity gave her the ability to share the latest health care news with the public that could potentially help save lives. During her residency with the Mayo Clinic she was able to see and learn about all of the different aspects of the hospital that function together to ensure it operates successfully. This experience helped open her eyes and she realized that that there may be more to her purpose than journalism so she decided to drop everything and pursue a career in healthcare administration. Flash forward to today, Kaitlyn recently graduated with a masters degree in business and healthcare administration, with a focus on pediatrics and women's health. Kaitlyn is through and through a CAREpreneur. Kaitlyn's passion for making a difference in the healthcare industry comes from the heart and she makes a conscious effort to lead from the heart as well. Kaitlyn is dedicated to taking care of every member of her team and is committed to making a positive atmosphere for them to work in. Interested in learning more from Kaitlyn?
