"Why I Support the AHHM Program" 

I support the AHHM Program because, in these difficult financial times, we are in serious danger of getting our priorities wrong. Humanities and the arts help us to keep our perspective so we can make decisions about the future of medicine properly, in the right context, and with the right guiding principles. The arts and humanities illuminate what is truly important in life and help to make medical practice relevant and responsive to individuals and communities in the real world.
