Overcoming Obstacles
“As you know from school, it’s when you have not prepared for the test that you have the fear of failing. And if you have prepared, even if you fail, you’ve done your best” ~Alice Walker
Sometimes no matter how hard you try, it seems like something is standing in the way of success. You can prepare and put as much as you can in place but unexpected obstacles manage to slow down the process in ways that make every goal seem harder to reach. Overcoming Obstacles is our theme for this month. June is a month of transitions. The school year ends, the summer begins and, for many, it begins a time of reflection or reorganization before the busy fall and winter seasons.
Look out for articles and advice this month about the many ways that Sister CEOs have worked to succeed in the face of myriad challenges and stepped around the madness when so much seemed in the way.
We want to hear your stories of endings and beginnings. Tell us about the obstacles you have faced and the ways that you worked to grow your business and maintain your focus.
We also need inspiration—videos, artwork, photos and testimonies because obstacles have solutions. Don't give up! The best way to find those solutions is to help each other and keep our spirits high!

What We Don’t Know CAN Hurt Us
Q & A with Health Care Professional Marcia Martin
Marcia Martin has always been passionate about helping people. When she was a young girl, she spearheaded her first volunteer action, inspired by her desire to help other kids in her neighborhood in Pittsburgh’s Hill District. Martin is the Vice President of Gateway Health Plan, Pennsylvania's alternative to the Public Welfare Medical Assistance Program. It provides services to over 200,000 members. Martin’s work demands that she understand the core health care needs of her service area, an understanding that has made her an advocate for affordable health care options in low-income communities.
How did you get your start in the health care industry?
This is a second career for me. My first career was in human resources and I was looking to make a change. I've always done a lot of volunteering in the community and I wanted a job where I could help people. I felt health care was the best opportunity for me to use my skills to help people live longer, healthier lives.
