Dr. Hugh B. Logan once said, “Success is best spelled in the year s of a healthy life.” I find this statement to be incredibly thoughtprovoking and true as you go forth to help improve the quality of life of those in our communities. During times of crisis and times of peace, all challenged to find better solutions in our health , evidence care system – solutions that will provide informed and patient-centered care. As you think about success, and what that looks like in your future, think about it in terms of the impact you will have on others to live a long and healthy life. ~ Dr. J. Clay McDonald, President, Logan University
