Abstract
As I think about the state of play in our world today, I find we have two choices in how we react. One is with a sense of despair driven by the intentional efforts to disconnect humanity being perpetuated by some. The other, with a sense of hope, that even in the face of these forces, there are those that strive relentlessly to foster connection and opportunity. I find the path forward in holding the tension of pragmatic idealism – that we can dream, with big and noble goals, while recognizing our path forward must be grounded in practical and realistic action. That, in so many ways, reflects the power of our community. I see it in the words of our authors in this issue who push us to think bigger, understand more broadly, while laying out pathways and practices that can move us forward with intention. There is a foundational theme that emerges from our authors across PXJ. It is a commitment to something bigger, to the human experience we can and must foster and sustain, not only in healthcare, but for our world.
