Dr. Anita Gärtner Cont’d
Looking in the Crystal Ball, what innovations in the
profession do you foresee?
So many of us think that change or disruption is bad and to be
feared. It makes us feel uncomfortable – it makes us grow. I never
want to lose the ability to embrace change. We will need to offer
services our patients want. We will need to partner with each other
in ways we thought impossible. We will use technology to reach
more individuals. We need to remain dynamic.
What do you do to relax and unwind?
I enjoy gardening and being with my animals – a horse and two
dogs. I love to travel and take on new challenges. I enjoy a glass
of wine and a great book.
