Voices featuring Scott Burns, RPh, VP/Chief Quality Officer:

​
Rome Health's Chief Quality Office, Scott Burns, explains why he feels so strongly about giving back:
My decision to support Rome Health Foundation financially stems from a profound personal connection that spans decades. Having grown up in Rome, this community isn't just where I work—it's my home, filled with neighbors, friends, and family who deserve access to exceptional healthcare.

My 18 years working within the organization have given me an insider's perspective on the incredible impact we make every day. I've witnessed firsthand how our services transform lives, support families during their most vulnerable moments, and strengthen the fabric of our community. This isn't just a job for me; it's a calling to serve the place that shaped who I am.

The people of Rome deserve nothing less than outstanding healthcare, and I've seen how the Foundation's work directly translates into better outcomes, advanced equipment, innovative programs, and enhanced facilities. When you combine my deep roots in this community with my professional understanding of our mission, supporting the Foundation financially becomes not just an opportunity, but a responsibility.
As a member of our Rome community, you understand that access to quality healthcare isn't just a personal need—it's what makes our entire community thrive. The Rome Health Foundation ensures that our neighbors, friends, and families receive the medical care they deserve, regardless of their financial circumstances.  I would recommend anyone to support Rome Health Foundation.
