Quote on the person is the sun and we should orbit around the person in healthcare

“The person is the sun and in healthcare we should orbit around the person and family affected by the disease; not around the doctor.” -Michael Okun

This is a particularly meaningful quote for me as this has been my (our) philosophy since arriving at the University of Florida and starting the movement disorders program in 2002.
