The hospital also carries a distinct mission to foster community health, with many resources dedicated to social work support and preventative medicine; as a result, it’s an excellent place to cut your teeth in learning to be a true interdisciplinary-minded physician.

Acuity here is high, a result of the often impressive degree of baseline illness in the population that calls it home.
