Strive is committed to making sure our network of clients and caregivers has access to quality and affordable care services. That is why this month we want to highlight one of our favorite partners serving Florida, ICare Mobile Medicine and its co-founder, Ivan Islamaj PA-C, MMS!
ICare provides same-day urgent care and wound care services in the comfort of your own home. We recently interviewed Ivan to learn a little more about him and ICare and hope you enjoy the following highlights!
Why did you decide to go into this profession?
I have been interested in the medical field since I was 6 years old. I have always been fascinated by science, learning how things work, fixing things, and helping people. Naturally, medicine checked all those boxes for me. I can’t imagine doing anything else in life.
What is your favorite recreational activity?
Oof, I have many! But traveling and scuba diving would be at the top of my list.
What is your favorite thing about working in this field?
I acknowledge the cheesiness of my statement but helping people truly is my favorite part of my workday.
What’s the most exciting thing you have ever done?
I’d like to think my life overall is pretty exciting. I have traveled to some of the most beautiful places on earth; engaged in numerous adrenaline junkie activities; married the woman of my dreams.
What is your favorite quote?
“One of the essential qualities of the clinician is interest in humanity, for the secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient” – Dr. Francis Peabody
What is something on your bucket list?
To grow my company nationwide!
