Just having turned 35 years old, this mother of three also owns

serving medically at-risk children in urban and suburban centers. “I
believe every child deserves quality and affordable medical treatment,” she
said, and since 2000, her medical day care centers have served
children of all races and ethnicities. An advocate for diversity
in the workplace, Ms. Román Fournier practices what she
preaches because she has hired talented ethnically and racially

award when she received the the prestigious 2003 “Artemis
Award” in the area of Entrepreneurial Leadership from the
Euro-American Women’s Council, Ms. Román Fournier
serves as a role model for women, Hispanics, minorities in America
and young entrepreneurs. “Unless we stand up for our beliefs,
we will be ignored,” she said. “Excellence is the
only standard acceptable to a business leader, and the children
I serve deserve only the best in services.”
Featured
in NJ Biz, Philadelphia Business Journal, Cable
Newsmakers, CNBC,
the Courier Post, Philadelphia
Inquirer, Burlington County
Times and other key regional press, Ms. Román Fournier was
named one of 2003’s 100 Most Influential Hispanics in America

to fulfill her business vision.
