Positive Faces in Medicine
The Pfizer Medical
Humanities Initiative, a program of pharmaceutical industry
leader Pfizer Inc, is proud to highlight doctors whose expertise,
integrity, ingenuity and creativity make the doctor-patient
relationship as special as it should be. These extraordinary
doctors are individuals from different fields of medicine, but
they all share the same important set of values. Among these
are:
1.) Patient Focus: They enjoy a patient-centered,
pride filled approach to the organization and delivery of
health care.
2.) Teamwork: They are collaborative in
the best sense of the word, sharing education, language and
tools.
3.) Community: They are community servants
who believe in equal access to health information and health
care for all.
4.) Performance and Innovation: They recognize
their imperfections and constantly strive to improve performance,
seeking innovative solutions that ensure positive and coordinated
outcomes.
5.) Integrity and Respect: They are committed
to personal revitalization, provide hope and reassurance to
all those they serve, and promote courage, strength, and positive
attitudes.
Each month, we will feature one doctor who
embodies these values. You will hear stories about remarkable
people who have lived fascinating lives in intimate contact
with other human beings. We are certain that these positive
profiles will affirm your confidence in the medical community.
