Today is President’s Day in the US and so my kids are off school and some of you are off work. Although, in healthcare holidays always come with mixed feelings. I actually like that in Canada today is family day. I’m not sure the traditions of family day, but I like the idea of having a family day.
While we’re taking a break from our regularly scheduled health IT content for President’s Day, I always think it’s fun to share some popular quotes from US presidents on President’s Day. I hope you enjoy this and they cause you to stop and think a bit.
