Most who enter the medical, health care, community health, academia, research and scientific fields have the intent to serve and protect the health and dignity of individuals, families and communities. This intention to help others is a sign of love. Thank you for demonstrating your love through service to our communities. While this year has already brought many challenges, remaining steadfast in holding true to our mission and intent to care for and protect our patients and communities can have a positive impact. You are all appreciated, you are all seen- know that so many in the community do appreciate your efforts. During these uncertain times, remember that our community has thrived for decades because of the commitment and service from those in our field. Your ongoing dedication will allow our community to continue thriving in uncertain times. I hope that the quote from American author Margaret Mead helps inspire you to continue, despite the uncertainties. I encourage you all to stay connected, keep the dialogue open and know that there are many in our community who can offer a wealth of knowledge, resources and support to help with navigating challenging times.
