BecauseI honor the inborn potential of everyone to be truly healthy.

Because I desire to help the newborn, the aged,

and those without hope.

Because I choose to care for the patient with the dis-ease,

not the disease.

Because I wish to assist rather than intrude;

to free rather than control.

Because I seek to correct the cause,

not its effect.

Because I know doctors do not heal,

only the body can heal itself.

Because I have been called to serve others.

Because I want to make a difference.

Because everyday I get to witness miracles

Because I know it is right!
