In her book, Danna provides you with the road map to building a caring and sustainable illuminated culture.

Danna spoke at our hospital Grand Rounds in Oakland and St. Rose, CA. Due to their strong personalities, addressing healthcare professionals and physicians can be a challenge. Danna delivered an important message that transcended any rank or authority that existed in the room. Egos aside, we all have a common goal of delivering quality care to our patients.

As the former president of a large utility company we often went through training programs to elevate the performance.
