During the many hours that I watched the Olympics, I reflected on the commitment, dedication, perseverance, resiliency and sacrifices of the athletes, coaches, families and friends. They are fighters. That's who we are in the health community. We are fighters. We are determined to make our health care system better for all. I ran track in high school, the 440, now the 400 meters. One summer, I trained with the iconic Brooks Johnson of Sports International. He had Olympians on his team, Esther Stroy, Lacey O'Neal, Larry Shipp. I was on the track with them. All I wanted was to be on the high school track team. I reflect on those days now because years later they still inspire me; and, this young generation of athletes and health advocates inspire me to keep fighting for health care for all.
