I am thankful for the families that I care for in my pediatric practice. The children ENERGIZE me! I am so lucky to have a job where I get to interact with bright vibrant children every day. Their optimism and inquisitive view of the world inspire me.

William Greenough, MD, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

I am most grateful to all my patients and colleagues who have made my career so meaningful over these 62 years!

Colleen Christmas, MD, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

One of the greatest parts of my job in medicine involves watching the medical students bear witness to a person’s journey. I am constantly awed by patients’ willingness to help teach our students and to share their vulnerabilities and their strengths. How incredible is that, to be part of that humbling and joyful connection? Medicine and the human body are incredibly fascinating, but these exchanges, for me, take medicine over the moon.
