Group Health

Why is it called health care if it feels like nobody cares? We think the doctor patient relationship should actually be a relationship. Every medical degree should come with a degree in humanity. It's easy to say, be well. Isn't it more important to help you get there? Your flesh and blood shouldn't be treated like just flesh and blood. Every medical degree should come with a degree in humanity.
