For the past 12 years, Marion is the Practice Manager for a small, independent Anesthesia practice in West Palm Beach. She has seen many changes in healthcare recently, most are not conducive to the doctor-patient relationship, so she became the National Co-Chair for a grassroots group of doctors from all around the country that are fighting to restore the doctor-patient relationship and keep insurance companies and the government out of the decisions.
