title: An experience of community.
abstract: This is a personal experience in case management. The current surge of case management programs across the country has made a significant impact on the lives of many patients. But, does anyone ask, "What is the impact on those who are case managing?" As we share the struggles, griefs, and pains of our patients, we should never lose sight of the fact that who we are and what we did made a difference.
