Christopher Ward, M.D., ’95, is the vice chair of emergency medicine for Steward Good Samaritan Hospital in Brockton, MA. Dr. Ward is helping lead the Emergency Department team through the crisis, skills he learned in part through his training at the Miller School of Medicine in emergency medicine and subsequent work as attending physician at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
“It is very easy to be negative, fearful, and stressed right now,” notes Dr. Ward, “Think of this time as an opportunity for many things: spending more time with family; reflecting on our lives, goals, and accomplishments; volunteering in our communities; helping to take care of each other, especially our older neighbors; re-examining what we might want for ourselves and our country after this is all over; improving our medical system, improving the care of our patients, and preparing for future viral outbreaks. Look forward to coming together as a community, being kind to each other, and enjoying life!”
