Bio
Marc Trznadel, RN, BSN, MHA, MBA
I have worked with Ginny as a peer and leader. Her pharmacy and regulatory knowledge are amazing. She always places the patient and safety as her and her teams number one priority. She is a great advocate for her staff. Ginny would be an asset to any organization.

I enjoyed the 5 years at ProHealth that I worked for and with Ginny. She was a strong operational leader who was quick on her feet to creatively solve problems. She provided appropriate support to my role but gave me freedom to to manage my area as I saw fit. Her guidance and mentorship was appreciated as she promoted me to a managerial role. She brought a 'human' touch to a role that is often perceived by staff to be 'too busy' or unapproachable. Working on numerous challenging projects together, I often felt she was more of a partner than my boss. She certainly has her own ideas but I valued that she was willing to listen and consider supplemental or opposing viewpoints. Her strong patient focus was a guiding principle in her daily work which made our department better and stronger. I believe she sees in others what they do not see in themselves and will push them to maximize that potential. Hard working and a dedicated leader sums up Ginny in a nutshell. She would be great addition to any team
