title: We can be heroes.
abstract: Physician executives are engaged in a search for ways to maintain balance, enthusiasm, and gratification in today's health care delivery environment. The primary resource for effecting positive change is themselves. This article addresses both pragmatic and philosophical initiatives that could assist them in their search. It postulates the premise that physician executives help themselves, their patients, and the state of health care service when they help each other.
