• My Why

  Most everyone who goes into medicine views themselves as a helper, a healer at their core. My call toward medicine was largely shaped by my experience working in dementia and hospice care. While treating diagnoses is imperative, caring for people is much more than that. There is a quote from the movie Patch Adams that speaks to this: “You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you'll win no matter what the outcome.”

• Interesting Fact
