●
How would you like
to see this organization grow, change or expand? How would you like to
see medical and alternative health in this country grow, change or etc.
I enjoy seeing CHEO grow due to the
efforts of its leaders. I feel if we keep the "education" in the mix,
it will continue to thrive and grow.
I believe traditional medicine will
begin to open its eyes and ears to what works
for patients.

It is good medicine.

What advice do you have for people looking to get into this field?
2 qualities are of utmost importance:
a brain in your head and a bone in your back.

I cannot begin. I regularly see folks

problems and they struggle and survive.

The privilege to work with others to
