BETSY SANCHEZ
The director of medical equipment, capital
deployment, at HCA (Nashville, Tenn.) shares her
career path and how her design skills extend from
healthcare to gingerbread houses.-Anne DiNardo
COFFEE OR TEA?
In the South, there's
only sweet tea!
HOW DID YOU BEGIN YOUR
CAREER IN HEALTHCARE?
I started out with a radiology degree (X-ray tech),
which I wasn't really a fan of. I decided to pursue a
radiation therapy degree so I could work with cancer
patients. The typical length of treatment is six weeks,
and I loved getting to spend extended time with
patients. Helping put a smile on their face during this
difficult time of their life was something that filled my
heart and soul with love and purpose.
AN UNEXPECTED ITEM ON
YOUR DESK ...
A stuffed monkey with Velcro hands and feet. It
belonged to my hiring boss, who is the calmest
person I know. He gave it to me after he retired to
remind me of him on the days I'm so completely
stressed with deadlines.
FASHION TREND
YOU THINK SHOULD
MAKE A COMEBACK
Swatch watch.
DOG OR CAT?
HOW DID YOU
MAKE YOUR FIRST
DOLLAR?
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO
SWITCH GEARS AND EARN A
DEGREE IN INTERIOR DESIGN?
Years of lifting patients took a toll on my back
and I had to figure out another avenue for my
talents. I've always been drawn to design so, at the
encouragement of my husband, I went back to school
for interior design and soon realized my interest was
more in flow and space planning.
Both. Our beloved 16-year-old West Highland
Terrier passed away last February, so we decided
to give kitties a try. They are so completely different
than dogs! We are certainly servants to Don and
Tivi (shown).
I grew up on a 47acre
apple orchard in
Western Kentucky. I did
everything from picking
apples, packaging them
for shipping, and selling
apples as well as making
apple cider.
OUTSIDE THE OFFICE, WE'LL
LIKELY FIND YOU ...
Conjuring up some outdoor project or traveling
to a fun destination with my husband or our
fabulous friends.
HOW DID YOU LAND AT HCA?
During my interior design college days, I continued
working part-time as a radiation therapist at
one of HCA's facilities and after graduation was
encouraged by one of my instructors to contact HCA
for any job opportunities. Luckily, there was an
opening for a medical equipment manager position,
which allowed me to utilize my clinical experience
and design background.
YOUR HIDDEN TALENT
I'm a pretty competitive gingerbread house builder.
We held a competition within our department at
HCA during the pandemic (shown is my entry), and
I also compete in a local Gingertown Competition
every year.
COCKTAIL OF
CHOICE
Chocolate martini. A girl
has to have her chocolate!
