Because I honor the inborn potential of everyone to be truly healthy.

 Because I desire to help the newborn, the aged, and those without hope.

Because I choose to care for the patient with the disease, not the disease. 

Because I wish to assist rather than intrude; to free rather than control.

 Because I seek to correct the cause, not its effect. 

Because I know doctors do not heal, only the body can heal itself.

 Because I have been called to serve others.

 Because I want to make a difference.

 Because everyday I get to witness miracles.

Because I know it is right.
