Quote: “What would make us excellent in our craft? The ability to see the big picture of a patient's care, a patient's health, as well as to help bring all the pieces together. We don't just look at what's going on with their heart or their lungs or their brain; we put all of those organ systems in the context of that particular patient and their needs as well as their social situation.”
