Marilyn McGowan: "My White Coat Means"

MY WHITE COAT MEANS WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER

At first I was tempted to write this coat means "I can do it!" But the more I thought about it, the less that statement resonated with me. I didn't get here alone, nor will I be able to make it through alone. This coat is worn by me, but it is representative of an entire community alongside me: a community of physicians, students, parents, friends, and family, passionate and ready to serve.
