Hey everyone, my name is Adriana England, but on this podcast, or on the field, you can call me Coach Adri. I have the honor of being the host of a brand new podcast called Next Gen Pathways. Now let me tell you why this matters. When we think about healthcare, most people only see doctors in their white coats or nurses moving from patient to patient. But behind every life saved, behind every smile restored, there are people you don't see, people with careers that almost no one talks about. And yet those careers are powerful, they're meaningful and they're filled with purpose. That's why NextGen Pathways is here to uncover.
