"I believe components of the health system that have traditionally operated in isolation from each other must come together and join forces so that we can maximize the use of resources and coordinate care for the patient's benefit. We must work hard to eliminate those silos!" – Peggy Leatt (source: Editorial, Hospital Quarterly; 5.1)
