ON THE JOB What are your main goals this year and how you can make them reality Interviews by Deborah Jeanne Sergeant “I would say that our top goal always is to be the region’s first choice for quality healthcare. With that, we continue to strategically look for opportunities to improve access to care for the community, and a major focus for Oswego Health in 2021 will be to increase market share in Fulton as we see this as a significant growth opportunity for the organization. Our first initiative in Fulton is to expand our primary care services in this market and I’m excited to share that we will be opening another office in April.
