'''A Call for Transformation:''' Our mission is catalyzing positive change so patient-physician relationships can flourish.


== Who We Are ==
'''Medicine Forward''' began as a grassroots nonprofit in 2019 co-founded by [[Eric Topol]] in response to his seminal article in The New Yorker titled [https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-inquiry/why-doctors-should-organize "Why Doctors Should Organize"]. The creation of the organization was driven by physicians to foster substantial improvements in medicine for the benefit of current and future generations. While our roots are in the physician community, our mission extends far beyond—it encompasses all stakeholders in healthcare, including healthcare workers, patient advocates, and healthcare leaders. We are committed to creating a holistic environment where all voices contribute to transformative change.

Our core hypothesis is that by engaging in a healthcare transformation accelerator model, we can significantly enhance the wellbeing and agency of healthcare professionals. This empowerment enables us to advocate more effectively for the systemic changes crucial to improving healthcare. However, true transformation requires the collaboration of diverse groups.
