Care Philosophy: I was asked to serve in the south of France and loved living among the French people for two years, Hedin says. I decided that I loved being able to interact with people from all walks of life on a day-to-day basis and hearing their stories and trying to help them if I could with their struggles. A career in medicine sounded like a good fit for me. We don't own any particular organ system, but rather strive to treat patients as a whole and restore function after any musculoskeletal or neurologic injury.
