Because The Patient
Because the patient has a need, we have a job.
Because the patient has a choice, we must be a better choice.
Because the patient has sensibilities, we must be considerate.
Because the patient has urgency, we must be flexible.
Because the patient has high expectations, we must excel.
Because the patient has influence, we have the hope of more patients.
Because of the patient...WE EXIST!
