Messages from NNDC Staff

• During her tenure as Executive Director, Pat built back the NNDC administrative team after a full staff turnover and led the pilot and full-scale launch of our flagship program, Mood Outcomes. I would not be exaggerating to say that Pat, with her many years of leadership and health informatics experience, is a major reason for the incredible growth the NNDC has seen over the last decade. I consider myself fortunate to have worked with her for almost 8 of her 10 years at the NNDC, and am eternally grateful for her mentorship and guidance. Pat, we wish you the best in your retirement years! Congratulations!  – Dane Larsen, NNDC Executive Director
