Rosemary Yau
"I can’t say enough good things about how wonderful it was to have Rosemary filling in as our ROVE telehealth coordinator. Rose stepped in seamlessly; connecting oncologists, palliative care, and geriatric providers with the inpatient teams. Thanks to her, patients were able to get video consultations from their outpatient providers in the hospital. Thank you Rose!"

Natalia Loaiza, Donna Portillo, and Jennifer Lee
"Donna once again planned and led a flawless UCSF Hospitalist Mini-College course (our 11th annual). Along with Natalia and Jen, the dynamic trio worked tirelessly during the 3-day event, demonstrating remarkable teamwork to provide a meaningful and personalized experience for the 30 participants from across the country. They not only made life easy on me but they also contributed to the heartfelt comments from participants who left “inspired to be clinicians again”. I’m incredibly grateful for their efforts!"
