Individual voices matter, but collective advocacy drives real change. In this month’s Louisville Medicine, our members wrote about how physicians can find common ground, build consensus and speak up – all for the advancement of patient care. 

For Dr. Andrew Hart, medicine has been a lifelong journey of dedication and compassion. Growing up in Evansville, Indiana, he was endlessly curious about how the human body works. Now at Baptist Health Louisville, he cherishes every milestone – birthdays, anniversaries, and recoveries – that his care helps make possible. “The people I can cure are the biggest wins,” he says. Outside the clinic, he’s a devoted husband and father of three, adventuring with his family through skiing, travel and Scouts, always balancing life, work and learning.
