The Calling shows how the stories of a great immigrant family and a transformational healthcare organization begin with strong values and simple commitments—e.g., respect your parents and see every patient every month. While the stories are intertwined, the authors have learned over time of the distinction between unconditional family relationships and conditional business relationships. Their insights can help organizations of all types thrive through the performance of noble work during our tumultuous times.

What a fantastic story this is! A family-run business trying to improve healthcare for some of the most underserved populations in the nation. They have managed to finance the enterprise on their own and are now poised with a great foundation of successful clinics to expand rapidly. This is truly a story that deserves to be studied and better appreciated
