“Thank you, Dallas, for being a role model for clinicians, entrepreneurship, and human kindness. Your clinic is built with the compassion and respect that all patients deserve and that everyone should receive. You are making a difference in so many lives. Your work reminds me of a favorite quote by Barack Obama: “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”
– Sherrie P., DNP Student
“We absolutely loved your conversation! Know that your thoughts carried immediately into our conversations with our specialties! Our cohort had an amazing huddle about grass roots healthcare, fostering community, and taking active steps to find common ground with patients who may look different and have different views than us as providers! I cannot wait to graduate and to break down the bureaucracy of American healthcare, and take my part in rebuilding places where everyone feels safe and heard, just like you painting the walls of Transhealth! May your light shine even in the darkest places.”
