Mrs. Wadsworth comes from a background of emergency medicine, but has welcomed the change of pace.

"It's a little different in the respect that we're not pushing patients through rapidly we're really taking the time to talk to them and find out what their needs are," she says. And the time spent talking, according to Mrs. Wadsworth is an essential part of the job.

She recently worked at the Polish Hill Senior Center with patients including James King, who enjoys his time talking with her. "I tell her my deepest secrets," he says, laughing. "I told her everything I should or shouldn't of, maybe."
