Joseph E. Scherger, Vice President, Primary Care
Thank you Bill for your eloquent discussion of Love, Faith, Mystery, Place, Dance and of course Medicine as part of the soul of Family Medicine. You are a voice of our second generation in Family Medicine, trained in the 1970s and 1980s by the first generation parents like Lynn Carmichael. Your tribute to him is timely and a bridge to the present and future.
