, With much admiration and great affection, I dedicate this book to the
patients of the Greater Lawrence (MA) Family Health Center, an
urban federally qualified health center, where I have been practiced as
a family NP, providing primary and urgent care to multigenerational
families, for the past three decades. We have shared good news and
sad news, times of great joy and sorrow, as well as the beauty and
amazement of the everyday. You have been a great inspiration so
I strive to be a better clinician, teacher and person.
