We dont need more doctors, we need more healthy people

We dont need more hospitals, we need existing ones to work better

We dont need more medical colleges, we need better ways for med students to learn

We dont need more fancy degrees, we need more family physicians

We dont need more national health programs, we need more accountability for them

We dont need hi-tech care, we need more hi-touch care and compassion

We dont need more health cities, we need doctors we can get to when we need, in our neighborhoods

Everyday we hear about more this, more that, we need to focus on fixing what is there, and not create more.
