"HCC saw something in me that I didn't see in myself. They took a shy graduate of the University of Michigan and turned me into a confident professional...I was placed at Kaiser Permanente Richmond Medical Center and I was in the room with decision makers. I led projects and I caught a glimpse of what I would be doing as a public health professional".
Denise Fair Razo, MPH, Chief Public Health Officer for the City of Detroit
