Cindy is currently the Call Center Manager at Children’s, and she and her staff have successfully scheduled 20,000 vaccination appointments. In recognition of her efforts, Children's selected Cindy to meet Dr. Biden and Dr. Murthy at the vaccination event, which focused on serving the needs of families in the community.
