• After a fulfilling career, I retired and thought my professional chapter had closed. Then I discovered Vital. I was so inspired by its mission and innovative approach that I came out of retirement to join this amazing team. Imagine taking the “family interpreter for healthcare role” out of my hands and giving it to a digital assistant! I can now be the loving family support person and not the healthcare translator! So happy!
