Inspiring Conversations with Marisa Williams of A Hug Away Healthcare, Inc.

In 2008, I was asked to help someone build their business. Since teaching business education was what I did for 12 years, this was a great opportunity for me to practice what I preach! After a very successful summer, I was offered a permanent position with double my pay as an administrator in the public school system. It was an offer I couldn’t refuse. At the time, I was working on my doctorate degree, which I also put on hold. After two years of building several prosthetic locations, I encountered a situation that would change my life forever. The head prosthetist needed immediate help with his wife, who was dying of brain cancer. He spoke of his struggle to find good care for her, and with tears in his eyes, he shared his burden. Moved by his pain, I felt an urgency to help.
