Joseph Stern
Neurosurgeon, husband/father, writer/photographer
I am a practicing neurosurgeon who learned about the central need for compassion in caring for others through the illness and death of my younger sister, Victoria, and later her husband, Pat. Redesigning healthcare has become a passion. I trained at the University of Michigan, where I attended college, medical school, and neurosurgical residency.
