22. Questions??
“The Center is a place where people help people; where
doctors and nurses try to make people well; where people
begin life and where life ends; where the skills of
medicine, dentistry, nursing and all kindred services are
handed down from teacher to student; and where
inquiring minds look into the nature of disease and try to
find ways to alleviate, to cure, or learn to prevent the
affliction.”
