Morgan McGarvey (KY State Senator) after
shadowing Dr. Frank Burns:
“One thing I was struck by was not only how complex
it is for a patient to understand what’s covered, but
how complex it is for the doctors. Really, we put far
too much of that burden on them.”
David Nicholson (Jeff. County Circuit Court
Clerk) after shadowing Dr. Frank Martin:
“As a lay person, I’m walking away knowing that we
have a lot of great physicians in this community.”
Cynthia Knapek (Leadership Louisville
President) after shadowing Dr. Todd Purkiss:
“It occurs to me that to be a really good doctor you
have to be really good at your people skills.”

David Henley (VP & Chief Compliance Officer
for Passport Health Plan) after shadowing Dr.
Rajesh Sheth:
“Dr. Sheth has patients who have been coming to
him not for two years, but 20 or 30 years. They walk
through the door, and he knows what’s going on with
them before they say anything.”
Hal Hedley (Ronald McDonald House Exec.
Director) after shadowing Dr. Josh Meier:
“To walk into a surgery room and to see a six month
old baby on a surgery table under anesthesia is very
eye opening. That gave me an absolutely new perspective about the families we serve in the Ronald
McDonald House.”
