**Embrace Every Chapter: Meet Pat**

In the latest installment of our *Embrace Every Chapter* video series, we get to know Pat a little bit better—an inspiring resident whose life story is anything but ordinary.

From living abroad in Croatia for over two decades to writing and publishing her own books, Pat’s journey is filled with adventure, creativity, and courage. Her outlook on life is as vibrant as her past—she even landed a role as an extra in *Mamma Mia 2*! Pat reminds us that there’s no age limit on living boldly or pursuing new experiences.

Through heartfelt storytelling, Pat shares what it means to keep growing, learning, and laughing, no matter your age. Her warmth, resilience, and zest for life embody exactly what this campaign is all about: celebrating the richness and beauty of every chapter.

Watch the video to hear Pat’s story in her own words—you just might walk away with a new perspective on what aging can look like.
