   Doctors & Patients: Catalyzing positive change together

   Medicine Forward’s mission is to catalyze positive change so physician-patient relationships can flourish.But what does that actually look like from the perspective of a doctor and a patient?In this episode of Stand Up (for) Doctors!, we bring both perspectives to the conversation.🔹 Dr. MaryAnn Wilbur is an Executive Board Member of Medicine Forward, an author, executive film producer, physician advocate, public health strategist, social entrepreneur, and Director and CEO of Health Equity Consulting, Inc.🔹 Matthew Zachary is a brain cancer survivor, author of We the Patients: Understanding, Navigating, and Surviving America’s Healthcare Nightmare, founder of Stupid Cancer, and CEO and co-founder of We the Patients.What happens when we look at medicine through both sides of the relationship?
