On Sept. 11, the power of unity and the strength of the human spirit

September 11 reminds us what is truly important. No matter what health care challenges we face, here at USF Health, our highest goal remains Making Life Better. Our greatest strength is our people: the faculty member pursuing a discovery, the nurse comforting a frightened patient, the physician staying late to care for someone in need, the staff member solving a problem no one else sees, and the student or resident learning how to assume responsibility for another human life.
