Thank you all for your heartfelt responses to our Father’s Day giveaway! After running all of our Facebook and Instagram commenters through a random selection process we’re excited to announce the winner of our PNWU-engraved bamboo cutting board is… @sarahrobisonphotography !!! Sarah wrote: “Father's day to me means recognizing and honoring all of the amazing father figures out there; but especially my own father, as well as my husband. My own dad was and is an incredible example of integrity, hard work, selflessness, and someone who you can always count on to be there when you need anything. And now he is the best, most loving, fun Grandpa ever to our three girls who absolutely adore him. And of course, my husband who has been the best father to our girls. Loving, protecting, teaching, and encouraging them to go after their dreams, no matter how big. He has worked so hard to provide for our family, and will be starting at PNWU this August pursuing his aspirations if becoming a doctor. No matter how busy his studies have kept him up to this point, he has always made time for me and our girls. And time, to me, is the best gift.” Congratulations, Sarah, and thank you all for posting and reading. Have a wonderful #FathersDay weekend! #PNWU

"People come from many different walks of life and it is crucial to be open and receptive to that, especially as a doctor. More than 3% of the American population identifies as LGBT+, and ignoring that fact is a sure way to make a patient feel uncomfortable or unsupported. Using non-specific identifiers, such as the word “partner;” however, demonstrates your understanding of the fact that everybody is different and that you are there to help treat them, not to judge them. After all, that is the premise of what being a doctor is all about." #ontheblog #pridemonth #pnwu #pnw #pnwuhealthblog #doctorsthatDO #upperleftUSA #liveauthentic
This week #ontheblog - "As I shook out the cobwebs and looked up from the splintered door that I had been slammed through, I saw his expression change. Tears began to pour from his eyes as he stared down at me; at what he had done to me. I’d never imagined that I would have been treated like that, and right then I knew that I had to leave."
