PATHWAYS TO BETTER OUTCOMES
By: Damon Autry
Being the youngest sibling can carry with it a sense of acquiescence, as older brothers and sisters often attempt to play the dual role of sibling and parent—tossing orders and instructions to their youthful siblings. Fortunately for Stephen D. Harris, president of Molina Healthcare in Troy, that issue never fully took root during his childhood. Harris grew up on the northwest side of Detroit with an older sister and older brother. While he mirrored and keenly focused on the deeds of his older brother, it was his sister that really forged a blueprint for Harris’ future. “I had the opportunity to learn from many of their successes and mistakes,” he says of his siblings. “But my sister was the first person in the family to go to college, so she served as a big role model for me in that regard.”
