Ironically, the one place Melissa Hunter dislikes the most is behind her desk. “I do think that it’s kind of ironic. It’s my least favorite place to be. When I get tired of the administrative side of things, I just love to go around and talk to patients and staff and see what’s going well and what’s not going well. This reflects the essence of who Melissa is in the workplace. She thrives on being hands-on and creating in-depth relationships with patients and colleagues alike.
