We recently caught up with Dr. Hesham Hassaballa, who shared his perspective on what it means to bring better to the bedside. For Dr. Hassaballa, it’s about bringing his all every single day — his passion, drive for excellence, and unwavering commitment to care. For him, exceptional care goes beyond medical expertise; it’s about offering everything you have to patients, the community, and healthcare partners alike. This dedication to giving his best to everyone around him exemplifies the spirit of Sound. We're honored to have leaders like Dr. Hassaballa, who remind us of the impact that compassion and excellence can have on patient care and beyond. #BringingBetterToTheBedside
