Patricia deals with people facing serious health challenges day in and day out, and I can't imagine the toll that takes on her personally. While my case has been stable since diagnosis and is not thought to be life threatening, nor does it present any immediate threat to quality of life, it is still very concerning and Patricia has consistently maintained a calm, reassuring presence while discussing my prognosis and test results. She does that while still maintaining a very human and personable connection that helps retain a sense of normalcy.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
