Carissa Gascon, RN, CCRN,BSN, MS - CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
"Growing up from a large humble family from the Philippines had given me an early insight of a responsibility. Our parents have shown us how to be of service to others, and this has inspired me on my early teens to be a servant leader. The passion instilled in me in serving our community resonated in its entirety of why I am in healthcare. I followed the path of nursing because it embodied my core values on compassion, caring, and service. In between schedules, I enjoy simple family gatherings in the table, eating outside as a food connoisseur in the Bay Area, and each time we travel as well."
