Procedure: Women Remaking Medicine Is A Bold, Bright New Book For...
Summary
Peters has spent the last decade working in healthcare; however, when a postpartum hemorrhage nearly took her life during childbirth, it was her experience as a patient that inspired her to launch the first in an ongoing book series celebrating the women remaking medicine. “One of my goals with Procedure is to encourage women to take a leadership role — become a manager, a CEO, take the lead, raise her voice, start something — because in order to have a better healthcare system, we need diverse voices.” Coming from different generations and different backgrounds and having chosen different paths in healthcare, the journeys of the women profiled are markedly unique but have led them toward the same goal — to heal a fractured system. “When Emily approached me with the idea of writing this book, I was ecstatic,” says Hemalee Patel, an internal medicine physician, entrepreneur, and advocate who shares her story in Procedure. Emily F. Peters has spent the last decade working with founders, physicians, patients, and policy leaders to bring bold new ideas to healthcare.
