Letter from Dr. John Stivelman: July 31, 2006
It has been my privilege and great pleasure to know Nancy Spaeth for
the last 7 years. No
one I have encountered in my career more exemplifies the strength of
the human spirit and its ability to supervene life’s obstacles
(particularly those related to health) in attaining one’s life goals. Nancy
so embodies “full rehabilitation” (the goal of the ESRD program
articulated at the time of its establishment), that when one thinks of
her and all she does, illness simply does not come to mind. She
brings thoughtfulness, intelligence, wisdom and enormous energy to all
she does in both renal and general physical rehabilitation (the latter,
also in her professional life). She is a highly effective advocate on
patient, legislative, and administrative fronts for improvement in care
and enhancement of personal autonomy, offering the rare dual
perspective of patient and expert caregiver in all her activities. Her
knowledge, enthusiasm, and passionate promotion of self-realization and
goal attainment are important examples for all of us, whether we are
patients, family, doctors, nurses, friends, or committed citizens.
John Stivelman M. D.
Chief Medical Officer,
Northwest Kidney Centers

My Philosophy
As my dad used to say:
"You can do anything in life, as long as you want it badly enough."
And as Momma used to say:
"Nancy, the sun is around the corner."
My mission is to give patients
hope and help them feel lucky. I can help you to do this, as well.
