Israt Khan is a Behavioral Health Care Manager for Habilitative Systems, a Wellness West partner. She has a master’s in public health.
Ms. Khan is often on-site at a Wellness West partner hospital, where she helps clients get the support they need to stay on course after their discharge. She loves building long-term partnerships with her clients and seeing life-changing progress happen. “It’s inspiring,” she says.
Ms. Kahn says the biggest challenge of the job is when a client stops engaging with us. “But we don’t give up,” she says.
Ms. Kahn says the biggest step a patient makes is the first step. “Asking for and accepting help can be very scary for clients,” she says. “But when they do accept help, they are always glad they did. I can hear the relief in their voice.”
