    Casting pebbles into your life beyond medicine

    "Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects."   This past year, our "Ripples" podcast has focused on life beyond medicine, which helps our physicians to better themselves and, most importantly, take care of themselves. Each guest has left a pebble for the listener to cast into the water of their own lives, actions that can be taken to improve their wellbeing and the wellbeing of those around them. As a gift this holiday season, we've wrapped all of those pebbles into one episode; take these pebbles and cast ripples into your world.
