Bart Stupak, a nine-term Democratic Congressman from Michigan’s First Congressional District, brought two unshakable principles with him to Capitol Hill in 1992: a firm belief in the sanctity of life, and the conviction that health care was a right for all Americans and not a privilege for the fortunate few. Studies indicating that 45,000 Americans died needlessly every year for lack of access to health care inspired Congressman Stupak’s tireless efforts, often at great personal cost, to pass lifesaving legislation while remaining true to his right-to-life principles.

In today's dynamic world of healthcare, where innovations surge forward and patient needs grow increasingly complex, there emerges a renewed emphasis on the value of teamwork.

This raises an urgent ethical dilemma: in striving to improve the health outcomes of individual patients, are we damaging human health on a global scale?

Everyone knows the path to becoming a doctor: study, study and more study. Depending on your specialty, you’ll spend four years in pre-med, followed by four years in medical school.

However, what Justin Berthold, D.O., learned the hard way was that there was no roadmap for how to go into private practice.
