PATIENT CARE: It's Not WHAT You Do, It's EVERYTHING You Do

PERHAPS ONE of the most fundamental aspects of medicine is patient care. Simple enough, right? But we know it’s not so cut and dry. We know patient care encompasses everything from bedside manner and cutting-edge research to patient privacy and hospital administration. In the end, doesn’t all the hard work and progress the medical community makes come down to one thing? You guessed it— the patient.

This is the Patient Care edition of Central Florida Doctor. We introduce you to Polk County AdentHealth CEO Brian Adams and give you a glimpse into what drives and inspires him and what he brings to the table for the Polk County medical community.
