"When you see people struggle with challenges, you really learn how strong the human spirit is. And, when you’re treating patients with disease, you see that in a very direct way. I continue to be inspired by my patients – spending time talking to them, and understanding them, is my favorite thing to do. I love treating the patients that are in front of me, but I also want to help the patients that I’ll never meet and never see. Philanthropy has obviously contributed to the success of our institution, but even more important, it has contributed to our success in solving problems." - John Leonard, M.D.
