Keynote Speaker Donald Berwick Addresses Graduates on Class Day 2012

Keynote speaker Donald Berwick, who recently led the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, told graduates that in a contentious and sometimes confusing time for medicine, a physician's "true compass" should always be the oath to care for all patients.

Donald Berwick is the most compassionate speaker I have ever heard. What is obviously common sense to this man seems to be missing in a huge percentage of our population (specifically the politicians and people in power) I applaud your choice of keynote speaker and I am sure his speech touched the hearts of people that will change the future for the good of all. Love and Light to all the healers.

This extraordinary man should lead our Commonwealth as Governor; please join me in supporting his candidacy for that office.

15:32 "You are a physician; you are a dentist, and you have a compass." Powerful stuff.

He has a such broad, humane vision. He has never talked to me or have seen me but I consider him as my mentor

[@ginnynadler5582]

It is an honor to receive such compassion, honest and truth. Yes, it takes courage to be a member of society.

His wisdom, insight, honesty and compassion makes me think, he must have had the most wonderful mother and father. His values are pricesless.

We are so fortunate to have Dr, Berwick running for governor in Massachusetts.

The AHA still has a blacklist.
