Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided.
—Paracelsus
 

To heal a nation we must first heal the individuals, the families, and the communities.
—Art Solomon, Anishinaabe Elder
