What do you like about Hillside?  There are many things I like about Hillside including that Hillside improves access to health care and health education for our community. Hillside is probably one of the only organizations in the south that offer home health care and physical therapy at no cost to the patients as well as other specialty services when available. I also like that Hillside has helped Belizeans to develop their capacities and education, empowering them to take on leadership roles in providing these services to our communities.  Complementary, Hillside combines local and international expertise to learn as we grow, caring for our community in an interdisciplinary way, simultaneously building a huge network of family and friends.

What are your interests/ hobbies outside of Hillside? I enjoy exploring nature, travelling to new and interesting places, learning about different cultures and cuisine as well as spending quality time with my family.
