Along with Intermountain Healthcare’s vision, Julie is committed to addressing the gender gaps in cardiovascular care across the lifespan.
“If you support and elevate the life of one woman, you change the trajectory of an entire family. One family at a time, we can elevate an entire community to thrive in dignity and well-being.” – Julie Hansen
