For Dr. Siatta Dunbar, the journey to professional fulfillment did not take the straightest of paths. She moved from construction project management, to physician, and now lifestyle medicine. But what was helpful to help her find her way was the trusted confidants who she leaned on while making these changes.

And, if you find yourself looking for trusted confidants to help you find YOUR unique path, MD coaches might be able to help. Find them at www.mymdcoaches.com

Dr. Dunbar is double boarded in Family Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine with fellowship training in Sports Medicine. She entered medicine as a second career after spending 10 years as a Project Manager in commercial and retail construction.

Her commitment to developing meaningful relationships that are focused on creating health and increasing quality of life, led her to start her own lifestyle medicine and health coaching business, Saravit Wellness. It is built on the premise that healthcare should be 1) collaborative, not prescriptive 2) should educate individuals that they have control of their health, and 3) that restorative sleep, regular exercise, clean nutrition and wholehearted connections are foundational to achieving and maintaining health and vitality.

This week we break from our normal format to have a discussion with doctors Marion Mass and Kimberly Jackson regarding the genesis of National Physicians' Week.

Dr. Marion Mass is a practicing pediatrician who is also a physician advocate and healthcare activist. She is driven to take back medicine for patients and the medical profession. The COVID-19 pandemic threw a spotlight on dangerous deficiencies within the US healthcare industry. At the center of these deficiencies are Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) and Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), which are healthcare intermediaries that increase costs and create drug and supply shortages. Although GPOs and PBMs don't produce or distribute a single product or provide direct care to a single patient, they control nearly 90% of the pharmaceutical supply chain. These middlemen amass huge profits because they enjoy government-mandated safe harbor protections at the expense of physician practice needs, sound medical decision-making, and patient choice.

Dr. Kimberly Funches Jackson is the founder of Physicians Working Together and pioneer of National Physicians Week. Throughout her career as a board-certified physician, "Dr. J." has dedicated her life to the care of others. She's the medical director and co-owner of her Family Medicine & Pediatrics clinic and has provided medical care to adults and children for over a decade. Her commitment to the well-being of the community extends beyond her practice. Dr. J is a member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority maintains the social responsibility of Dr. J is an active member in her church and she's also an active board member for several community-based organizations.
