82 THOUGHT LEADERSHIP I recently completed All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. I also finished e Plum Tree by Ellen Marie Wiseman, which is a translation from German about an ordinary German family who got caught up in World War II and the Holocaust. How do you revitalize yourself? I'm high energy all the time and I have a pretty posi- tive outlook on things. In addition, I'm fairly spiritual, I exercise and I have a dog. My family and I enjoy traveling and spending time together. We enjoy local travel and this summer we visited Virginia Beach. I'm also going to Cuba in February. What's one piece of advice you remember most clearly? My background is in oncology and as a hospice nurse. e most obvious advice is, "Live every day as if it's your last." But I don't think it's that simple. I like the phrase, "Live life well." To color that up, a life well- lived is about extraordinary courage, compassion and really enjoying the great life we have. What do you consider your greatest achieve- ment at Carilion Clinic so far? I can easily say it isn't my greatest achievement — our greatest achievement is what makes all the difference. We operated our visualization for a greater clinic, meaningful physician leadership, patient-centered care and a medical school in collaboration with Vir- ginia Tech. But at the end of the day, it's about paying attention. e most important thing is taking care of patients, followed by making sure our staff has a great environment. n Executive Moves Houston-based Harris Health System named Parikshet A.
