For more than a decade, Leslie Graham has been the public face of the Primary Care Coalition (PCC). As we pass the proverbial torch to our third-ever President and CEO, Annice Cody, we thank Leslie for her dedication and leadership.

Leslie accepted the role of President and CEO just as the Affordable Care Act was taking effect, and many expected the numbers of uninsured residents to sharply decline. Unsure if she was the right leader for a moment of such uncertainty, Leslie said yes anyway. And the universe laughed, because the Affordable Care Act turned out to be the least of anyone’s operating environment fears.

She has seen PCC through multiple federal administrations and even a global pandemic. Her tenure saw exponential growth in the number of uninsured children served through Care for Kids—from just over 3,000 in FY14 to nearly 11,000 in FY25—and the creation of the Nexus Montgomery Regional Partnership—where local hospitals jointly invest in the health of their shared community.

Leslie oversaw PCC’s transition from a mission based around developing a community-based healthcare system to one focused on building the many systems and partnerships necessary to support better health, from a vision focused on our local geography to a broader view of healthy community. She led us through not just the strategic planning to define our approach but the operational planning to enact it. And she has combined her steadfast approach with an abiding sense of joy.

Annice, who has worked closely with Leslie on Nexus Montgomery as well as during this time of transition, calls her “a generous colleague who has made our collaboration over the past ten years both rewarding and fun.”

Her husband, Jim, says that on the days Leslie works from home he can her laughter during video calls. Leslie herself says her workdays have been “as joyful as our work is deeply meaningful.”

“When the PCC leadership torch passed to me in 2014, I said I knew I had big shoes to fill. I also knew I had my own feet and wore very different shoes.” Leslie remembers. “Stability is good, and so is change.”

We wish Leslie well in her next chapter of nonprofit consulting and more time with family and friends, with eternal gratitude for the shoes she leaves behind.

Nelly Velazquez is Data Quality Operations Manager for the Primary Care Coalition's (PCC's) Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (BCCP) under the Maryland Department of Health. She ensures that clinical health center patients receive breast and cervical cancer screenings in a timely manner. The program screens all eligible patients for cervical cancer from age 21 and for breast cancer from age 40. More than 1,300 women in Montgomery County annually receive potentially life-saving mammograms and Pap tests.

Velazquez has been with the Primary Care Coalition for nearly three years, joining in mid-November 2022. "I love what I do at PCC. I feel I am the voice for women who often don't have a voice. Even though I don't work directly with patients, I feel connected to patients. I am behind the scenes, removing barriers for people who are facing language difficulties, lack of information and education, and all kinds of other challenges in getting the healthcare they need. Knowing that I'm helping keeps me motivated," said Velazquez.

She lived in Baltimore and worked with the BCCP in Baltimore City for ten years before joining PCC. When her husband died unexpectedly at the end of 2019, she decided to downsize, sold her house, and moved to Montgomery County in 2020 to be closer to her son.

"What I do here at PCC is challenging and complex because I don't just oversee the data quality. I am responsible for ensuring that patients receive the services they need and that the health centers can efficiently provide them. Even though my role is more technical, I always hold the patients first. So, everything I do, every decision I make, every process I try to improve is done to make the program work better for the women who need it most. It is a very detail-oriented job that includes improving operations and processes," said Velazquez.

Like many of her colleagues at PCC, Nelly is on a bit of a mission. "I want to make a difference in the community. I want to make a difference with women. I want to make this journey through life worth it," said Velazquez, who adds that her desire for the future "is to make our community healthier."

In her time away from work, Nelly stays busy. She is starting a master's program in a few weeks. She also enjoys creative projects involving drawing and coloring, which help her relax and see things from a new perspective to develop innovative solutions in her work. Her three teacup Yorkies keep her company at home. They include Lolyta (5 lbs.), Nana (3 lbs.), and Figi (2 lbs.). Velazquez has a grown son who lives nearby, along with her grandson, Joaquin, 3, who was bornafter her husband's death and most resembles him with his green eyes and curly, golden hair. Her daughter lives in Florida with her other grandchildren, Alyssa, 16, and Nico, 12.

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month—a time to celebrate the cultures, histories, and contributions of AAPI communities across the United States. From the arrival of Chinese laborers in the 1800s to today’s vibrant and diverse communities, AAPI Americans have played a vital role in shaping our country, despite a long history of exclusion and marginalization (Washington Post).

AAPI in Montgomery County: Who We Are
Asian Americans make up nearly 15% of Montgomery County’s population, one of the highest percentages in Maryland (MoCoPAAN). The community includes a wide range of ethnic groups—including Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Indian, Filipino, and Nepali residents—and comprises both long-time residents and new immigrants.
Despite this growth and diversity, AAPI communities have long been underserved in public health and human services. In 2021, for example, only 25% of Asian adults with a mental health condition received care—compared to 52% of White adults (KFF). Additionally, AAPI health issues have historically been underfunded in research, accounting for just 0.2% of federal health-related grants between 1986 and 2000 (NIH). These gaps demonstrate the need for intentional, culturally competent investment.

A Historic Commitment from Montgomery County
PCC is proud to have partnered with the Asian American Health Initiative (AAHI), part of the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services, to launch and grow a suite of grant and capacity-building programs that have significantly advanced health equity for AAPI communities in Montgomery County.
This multi-year partnership reflects a historic commitment by the County to invest multi-million dollars in culturally and linguistically appropriate services—and we are honored to have helped shape and scale this infrastructure.

Turning Investment into Impact: Strengthening the AAPI Community Infrastructure
This historic commitment from Montgomery County is more than just funding—it’s about building lasting infrastructure. At PCC, we’ve translated this investment into direct support for AAPI-serving organizations, helping them not only deliver critical services but also grow their long-term capacity.
Through a combination of grantmaking and hands-on technical assistance, we work side by side with community leaders to strengthen programs, expand reach, and build the tools needed for sustainable impact.
Here’s how we do it:

1. Grantmaking: Fueling Culturally Responsive Services
We provide grants to support programming that reflects the cultural and linguistic needs of diverse AAPI communities. This funding has enabled local organizations to offer everything from healthcare navigation and food distribution to mental health support and anti-hate education.

Grantee Spotlight: Chinese American Community Health Services (CACHS)
​

​CACHS is a Healthy Communities Fund grantee dedicated to serving Montgomery County’s Chinese-speaking residents. With the grant funding, they’ve expanded their reach—offering daily communication assistance, English classes, transportation for seniors, culturally-tailored webinars and support groups, and staff training. These services help bridge access gaps while fostering deeper community engagement.

2. Capacity-Building: Strengthening Organizational Foundations
Beyond funding, we equip AAPI community-based organizations (CBO) with the knowledge and tools they need to grow. This includes data and evaluation training, technical assistance, and one-on-one consultations that help organizations better measure impact and advocate for continued support.

Data Consultation Spotlight: Muslim Community Center (MCC)

Volunteers from CAPA-MC—a dynamic community-based organization empowering Chinese American parents, many of them first-generation immigrants—jumped into our annual two-day Data Bootcamp packed with hands-on learning. Offered once per grant period, this year’s training equipped participants with practical skills in Excel and Power BI to supercharge their ability to track engagement and evaluate programs. “These skills will help us dramatically in building our member database,” shared volunteer Jingfeng Huang. Designed for smaller, often volunteer-led groups, workshops like this are all about giving grassroots organizations the tools and confidence they need to grow and thrive.
​
Reflecting on the Journey & Looking Ahead

​PCC is honored to have played a key role in launching programs at a pivotal moment—during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic—when AAPI communities faced unprecedented challenges and rising hate incidents. As a trusted community intermediary, we helped get these programs off the ground quickly, equitably, and with a deep understanding of grassroots needs.
Our role has been to incubate innovative, community-centered models—supporting culturally responsive care, building data capacity, and elevating the voices of AAPI-serving organizations. We are proud of what this partnership has accomplished and the groundwork it has laid.
As we look to the new fiscal year, the program is entering a new chapter—one that moves toward more structured, institutionalized support within county government. This transition marks an important evolution. The needs of AAPI communities are real, growing, and long overlooked. They deserve not just a one-time response, but sustained public infrastructure that reflects their contributions and ensures lasting equity.

​Wenjing Zhang is the Primary Care Coalition's Lead Service Designer, responsible for developing system improvements to serve patients and providers better. Some of the organization's programs and systems, such as Project Access, were built many years ago when PCC was first founded.
 
"I have a creative and design background with technology skills," said Zhang. "My job is to meet with and listen to all stakeholders, including providers and patients, and research the technology systems. Then I design and propose solutions for system and program improvements with a business mindset."
 
Zhang earned her master's degree in service design from the Savannah College of Art and Design. While at school, she lived in Savannah, Georgia, then Atlanta for about six months, before settling in Charlotte, North Carolina.
 
The position at PCC drew Zhang to this area in September 2024, so she is still relatively new to the organization and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
 
"I love my job at PCC, particularly the human aspects," said Zhang. "Being able to talk to patients and providers face-to-face and seeing firsthand how my work can help them is rewarding."
 
"Providers have ideas to share about new systems and processes because they are the ones who work directly with patients and know how care can be delivered more efficiently. And patients want to be heard and understood."
 
"Visiting health clinics and experiencing the energy flow between people is my favorite part of the job," said Zhang. "I am outgoing and a people person. Whenever there is an opportunity, I want to be around people."
 
Zhang's colleagues may not know she is a licensed yoga teacher and an artist who works in oil, graphite, and charcoal. She dreams of one day opening a yoga studio with an art studio upstairs. She stays busy outside the office with yoga, art, and traveling. Since she has only lived in this area for less than a year, she is still exploring nearby towns and states. Recent trips have included Delaware and Virginia. She's visited the Shenandoah National Park and hiked in Charlottesville over the Memorial Day weekend.
 
"I want to visit every small town I can find on the map. I zoom in and out on Google Maps to find the names of towns and places I want to visit. I've visited most of the places in North Carolina and South Carolina when I lived in the South, and now I've started a new adventure here." 
 
Zhang has a twin sister who lives in London and visits her often in the U.S. Whenever they can make the long trip, they travel home to see their parents.
 
Inspiration for Zhang comes from new opportunities and experiences. "I get excited when I hear about a new adventure, a challenge I can resolve, or a trip to a place I've never been before. I love new things."
 
"I love that most of my days at work are different. I get to do different types of work. Sometimes I get to be creative, sometimes I get to talk to different people, and sometimes I get to be at different places."
 
Zhang shares her life with a six-year-old cat named Turtle, a black and white domestic shorthair. Turtle sometimes pops up in Teams Meetings with Zhang when she works from home, seeking attention and begging for food. He is supposed to be on a diet to lose weight, and he likes to remind her how angry he is about the situation.
 
"Service design is such a new field that involves three components: people, process, and physical evidence (such as the artifacts we use or technology). What PCC is doing is so meaningful and special because I have the chance to design all three components, and my goal is to achieve a new system transition and make it a great case study," said Zhang. "I'd love to present it at a big design or healthcare conference and show our approach and methodologies for improving service to vulnerable people."
 
"I am really excited, and I will be super proud to be able to share our work and knowledge with others. I feel like we are getting close to being able to do that."

A highlight of Annice Cody’s daily routine is walking her aging rescue dog through the local community park, where people of all ages, races, religions, and cultures gather on the playground, basketball and tennis courts, and park benches. “It’s a microcosm of the diversity of Montgomery County,” she says, “and it reinforces my goal of helping to build a stronger, healthier, and more connected community.”

Annice became PCC's third President and Chief Executive Officer on April 30, 2025, succeeding Leslie Graham, who held the role for ten years. Annice will lead the organization in its mission to improve the health of vulnerable individuals and families by leveraging her extensive knowledge of the local, regional, and national health care environments, as well as her experience as a health care executive focused on improving community health and well-being.

Annice is well known in Montgomery County for her efforts to support, define, and drive community health improvement. She spent the past 25 years at Holy Cross Health — 14 years in strategic planning and the past 11 as president of Holy Cross Health Network, the community-based operational division of Holy Cross Health that manages safety-net health centers, primary care, community health education and engagement, population health, and advocacy. Annice says, "This portfolio allowed me to think about the health of the community comprehensively, supported by the organization’s commitment to its mission of meeting the needs of our community.”

Annice says she sought and accepted the CEO post at PCC because she admires PCC’s mission. She is excited that PCC's activities affect overall community health and well-being. She elaborates: "Our community will be socially and economically stronger if all the people who live here have access to high-functioning health care and social services.”

Her timing could hardly be better. With the completion of a new five-year strategic plan, PCC is poised to broaden its impact. “There is a lot of uncertainty about federal and state funding for health and social services,” Annice says. “Stewarding our resources and developing effective partnerships will be key to ensuring that our community continues to thrive."
​
Annice's commitment to the community is also evident in her numerous leadership roles within local organizations. She serves as an officer on the Board of Trustees of Montgomery College, Chaired the Nexus Montgomery Regional Partnership, and Co-chairs Montgomery Moving Forward, all of which showcase her dedication to enhancing the lives of those in her community.
 
“Health outcomes are driven by so much more than medical care,” Annice says. “I value the opportunity to be engaged holistically in the health of my community by addressing social needs as well. There is so much potential for building a county that thrives in all ways, and I’m very excited to support that at PCC.”

Roberti Ricaurte drives 20 minutes to Adventist HealthCare at Shady Grove after kissing his wife and daughter goodbye.  He is a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA).  This is a new job.  One that comes from having received his CNA certificate from Montgomery College last month with the support of PCC’s Workforce Capacity Program.  The Workforce Capacity program is a Nexus Montgomery initiative that works closely with Montgomery County hospitals to improve safety and quality by providing scholarships for County residents like Roberto who want to pursue a career in health care.   
 
On the surface, Roberto’s career path is pretty conventional.  But for those who know Roberto, it means much more.  It is the embodiment of Roberto's life philosophy: don’t just follow your dreams, chase them down.  "Having a goal, something you aspire to, is great," says Roberto.  "But you have to more than dream about it, you have to go after it."
 
Roberto's desire to work in health care, specifically in the emergency department of a lively and bustling hospital, sprang from his mother.  "My mother was a nurse.  I noticed how much of an impact she had on people, most of whom were complete strangers.  Here she was, this very unassuming woman, who made a difference in so many people’s lives.  She is my role model."   Now Roberto's path to working in an emergency department was not direct,  even though he knew in his heart this is where he wanted to be.  "I enjoy assisting others and solving problems, so I pursued careers in logistics, security, and hospitality, but while I was content, I was not delighted with what I was doing.  I kept thinking about being a nurse.  Doing what my mom did."
 
Roberto and his family, like many others, experienced disruption during the Covid years.  After spending a few years in Florida, he returned home to Montgomery County, where he and his wife opted to raise their daughter.  It also provided Roberto with an opportunity to reset and get back to pursing his dream job.  "I spoke with my brother, he’s a  CNA too, and he made me realize that now was the time to do what I really wanted to do.”   So, when he and his family settled down, he applied to Montgomery College to pursue his CNA certificate. " Edith Bonilla was my contact when I first began the application process.   After speaking with her, she encouraged me to  apply for  PCC's Workforce Capacity Program." 
 
Roberto was accepted into the Program, and he excelled.  Putting in the hours was difficult, especially because he was balancing a full-time job and being present for his family.  "It wasn’t easy by any stretch of the imagination, but  it put me on the fastest track to receiving my CNA.  That was the goal.”
 
As he was progressing through the Program and with graduation becoming more of a reality, Roberto realized he wanted to follow in his mother’s footsteps and work in an emergency department. “I appreciate that setting a lot because, many times, people are at their most vulnerable and they put a lot of trust in your hands.  I find it really fulfilling to be able to assist someone in their time of need.”  
 
It is neither common nor easy to find a job at an emergency room right after graduation.  Roberto took advantage of the Program's opportunities to demonstrate his talents in an ER setting.  "I demonstrated during our clinicals that I possessed the disposition and skills required to work effectively in an emergency care environment.  Unbeknownst to me, our instructors noticed.    I applied to several local hospitals after graduation.  It just so happened that one of the instructors, Tasha Dixon, who noticed was the nurse manager at Adventist HealthCare.  So, when I applied, she followed up with me.   I was able to get to my current position through that connection."
 
As he considers how he got where he is now, Roberto recognizes the influence of others around him.  "My mom was an inspiration to me.  Then there was my wife and brother, who encouraged me.  Then, once I was accepted into the program, my classmates and instructors encouraged me as well. And, of course, I have to give a shout out to Liza Greenberg at PCC.  She was there at the beginning when I first applied and was a mentor to me as I went through the program.  I tell people that healthcare is a team sport.  If you want to work in this sector, there are resources available to you.  You just need to go get it."
 
A grant from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)’s Employment and Training Administration funds 92.8% ($1.3 million) of the cost to train 200 healthcare workers and increase Montgomery College training capacity between December 2023 and November 2025. Non-governmental funds, including support from Maryland Physicians Care, support 7.2% ($101,615) of these costs. Additional workforce capacity efforts have been supported by WorkSource Montgomery, Maryland Physicians Care, and the Maryland Department of Labor.

​Fareed Anjum is the Primary Care Coalition's (PCC's) Director of Data and Informatics and has been with the organization for 15 years. He migrated from Pakistan in 2010, when he fell in love with and got engaged to the woman who is now his wife. They had been working together in Pakistan for two years, and she is originally from this area. When they decided to marry, Anjum left his family and friends and moved here but he still makes the approximately 22-hour trip to Pakistan every year to visit.
 
Anjum found his first job in the United States at the Primary Care Coalition, starting as Data Manager and moving up to Senior Data Manager and then Manager Health IT Systems before taking on his current role as a director.
 
"I love everything about computers, and my job is my hobby, too," said Anjum. "My job here at PCC gives me the opportunity to work in data and cyber security, coding, data management, and almost everything you can think about in terms of computers. I get all those different flavors every day. That's why I like this job."
 
“The challenges are actually the fun part, even though I do get frustrated at times and feel like pulling my hair out,” Anjum admitted with a laugh. “Solving the mysteries and seeing the results—that’s where the real satisfaction lies. Securing the IT environment takes a lot of effort, but it’s essential to enable the PCC team to do their amazing work. My job also provides opportunities to learn—keeping up with evolving security rules, regulations, and new requirements. Change is always one step ahead, and while keeping up can be tough, the chase is both demanding and exhilarating.”
 
Anjum is inspired by the knowledge that his work ultimately helps people get healthcare. "Regardless of what code I write, system I build, or computer software I install, all those seemingly unrelated things will help somebody get the healthcare they need."
 
His colleagues might be surprised to know that throughout his school years in Pakistan -- starting in primary school -- Anjum was famous for winning awards for reciting the Holy Quran. His mother encouraged and supported him, and he enjoyed the competitive process. His teachers worked with him on his presentations for the recitals, where participants were judged on their pronunciation, delivery, and clarity. Once he started winning awards, he felt pressure to keep winning from teachers, parents, and classmates. His top award was second place in the region, a tremendous honor in his homeland.
 
When he has time off from PCC, Anjum writes computer programs for fun. He also bought a dirt bike several years ago and travels three and a half hours to Pennsylvania most weekends to ride with a group on a single track in the woods. He also loves to play with engines and fixes things around the house. In March 2020, Anjum and his wife, Mariah Preston, agreed to help a neighbor by hosting a dog for a week while she was trying to find homes for a group of orphaned pets. Tess, a senior chocolate Lab, came for a visit and stayed. Anjum describes her as a "lovely, calm and easy-going dog."
 
"What I value most about my work at PCC is the people. We have the best people anywhere," said Anjum. "These are the nicest people who are always there to help each other, collaborate, and make things easier for others. That makes a huge difference in what we accomplish as an organization. I value my colleagues a lot."
 
Anjum learned from his elder brother that "If you decide to do something, do it in the best way possible." He has two daughters who are now 24 and 26. He has tried to impart that wisdom to them, and he uses it as a guiding philosophy in his work with PCC.
 
"We cannot do good work badly, so we have to do good work in the best possible way." 

PCC is pleased to announce the appointment of Katerini Stefanides as Director of Behavioral Health Strategy. At the intersection of Nexus Montgomery and the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services, Katerini will serve as the change agent establishing and addressing priorities and challenges to improving behavioral health crisis systems in Montgomery County, with the goal of improving behavioral health crisis response and reducing inequities in care. "My role will be to help others by leading and working collaboratively with our partners to find innovative and creative solutions to the unique and challenging issues this community faces," according to Katerini.
 
Katerini brings over 12 years of extensive experience in the behavioral health sector, having specialized in intervention treatments for individuals with both behavioral and mental health disorders. Her previous role as the Director of Behavioral Health at Staten Island Performing Provider System equipped her with invaluable insights and skills that she will leverage to drive PCC initiatives forward. “Over the course of my career, I’ve seen that there has been and always will be a need to be innovative, to approach a situation from a different perspective if nothing else seems to have worked, or the results fall short of expectations,” explains Katerini.
 
Katerini graduated from Saint Joseph's University with a Master of Education and a clinical certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis. She is currently pursuing a doctorate in health management. But that only explains a portion of her story; when she is not serving the community, you can typically find her making pottery, hiking with her dog and fiancé, enjoying a sunshine spot with her cat or jogging on a trail! Katerini recently moved to the area with her partner Jose and their two pets. She is engaged to be married in May.

​Juhi Morrison, a physician associate (assistant), has greatly impacted the Primary Care Coalition in her short time with the organization. She joined PCC in October 2023 and was named Employee of the Year for 2024.
 
According to President and CEO Leslie Graham, “Juhi Morrison embodies the values of PCC. As a Physician Assistant with a remarkable talent for problem-solving, keen intelligence, clinical skills, and focus on quality improvement, Juhi has made a profound impact on the organization, our six hospitals, and our local government partners, ultimately improving the lives of the patients we serve.”
 
As the director of programs for Nexus Montgomery, Morrison spends 80% of her time overseeing two programs – the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Alliance, which consists of 37 facilities that work together to decrease readmissions to Nexus hospitals, and the Hard to Place Patients (HTPP) program, which reduces the time patients are stuck in the hospital after being medically cleared for discharge.
 
In her role with the SNF Alliance program, Morrison “built meaningful relationships with key leaders” at each nursing facility and fostered collaboration with the hospitals to “enhance communication and coordination.” In 2024, nearly 200 hospital readmissions were averted compared to 2023 under her leadership.
 
Morrison’s work with the Hard to Place Patients (HTPP) program was deemed  “transformative, bringing together hospitals and the local government to understand the interplay between their resources to address systemic challenges better, ensuring that patients receive the care and support they need to transition back into the community effectively.”
 
Morrison also provides her insight as the clinical lead for the maternal health grant, assisted the Montgomery Cares teams three safety net clinic quality audits, and offers guidance to the Medbank team with medications. In 2024, she reduced the number of prescription requests while maintaining the highest quality of care for uninsured and low-income clients.
 
“I am a clinician at heart, and practicing as a physician assistant, it is gratifying to impact 20-30 patients a day. What I love most about my work now is that we can make a change in a program that helps hundreds and thousands of patients at once,” said Morrison. “That means a lot at the end of the day.”
 
Morrison was born and raised in Prince George’s County, and her husband was born and raised in Montgomery County. “There’s a lot of overlap between the two counties, and I always told myself that whatever work I do, I want to give back to my community.”
 
As a first-generation Indian American, Morrison gets her inspiration and drive from her parents and their story.  She and her sister grew up in a home with her parents and grandparents, and she saw her parents work hard to make life better for their family. They sometimes had to work two to three jobs at a time, so it took her father 10 years to earn his bachelor’s degree. By the time Morrison’s parents had worked their way up and settled into good jobs, her grandparents became ill, and her parents took on the role of caregivers for them. Morrison and her sister helped with that caregiving from a reasonably young age.
 
“My parents inspire me. They maneuvered a country where English was their second language, and they did not live for themselves. They lived to make a better life for us,” said Morrison. “If my parents were able to sacrifice all this for their family, I know I can do anything. I owe it to myself and my family.”
 
Morrison’s parents live nearby and are active grandparents to her two young sons, ages 4 and 2. She appreciates that they are always there to support her whenever she needs help. Although Morrison’s sister moved to Nashville when she married, the family remains close and gathers annually for vacations. Morrison’s sister also has a son close in age to her youngest, so they are on the same page for family activities. All enjoyed a recent family trip to a kangaroo and emu zoo in Kentucky.
 
Something Morrison’s colleagues may not know about her yet is that she is an extraordinary party planner and decorator. Her creative talents take birthday parties, family gatherings, and holidays to a new level. She uses her Cricut machine to make personalized products, including shirts and backpacks.
 
When she’s not at work or planning an event, Morrison can usually be found with her husband and sons, enjoying the outdoors, visiting museums and parks, and taking an occasional trip to a Lego store, to which many mothers of young sons can relate. 
 
The Employee of the Year award was bestowed on Morrison at the annual Employee of the Year Luncheon on March 20, hosted by the HealthCare Council, which gives healthcare organizations from the region an opportunity to celebrate their employees.
