On Patients
"It is not enough that quality care is delivered. Patients
must also perceive
that the care they receive is quality."
On Virginia Mason
"Virginia Mason has provided the highest quality care
for decades and now
finds itself struggling in competition with larger medical institutions
that
deliver care less expensively. Our challenge is to maintain high quality
at
decreased cost."
On Specialty Care
"The most important thing for a person's happiness is
not the integrity of his
or her back or joints, etc., but rather the person's perception of well-being.
It
feels good when I can deliver peace of mind."
