My name is Sharon E. Batiste and I have worked as a Patient Access Representative for Northwell Health for one year. About 14 months ago my husband and I relocated to Jacksonville, Florida to enjoy his retirement (I’m not quite ready to retire yet) after living in Cleveland, Ohio for 7 years caring for my father. I have over 25 years experience working in the hospital setting ranging from Secretary to Emergency Room Registration, Administrative Assistant to most recently as a Population Health/Financial Coordinator. I also attained a Master’s Degree in Human Services, which afforded me the opportunity to work as a Mental Health Rehab Specialist. During the pandemic I have picked up two fabulous habits: a Sign Language Interpreter course and I began practicing yoga. I am completely enjoying and reaping many benefits from the Thrive Wellness program and am grateful for this opportunity to share.
