Dr. Hartnett's Colleagues Wrote This About Him ...

"I remember looking back to our days working together, when from time to time the program would be having to deal with, what we thought were important issues. We would all be sitting around during one of our administrative lunch meetings deep in our decision making mode trying to deal with angry staff who felt overworked, old equipment that broke down, and an always shortchanged budget, and in would walk Mike. Now as you know Mike was never on time for any meeting, this was not a fashion statement, meetings just kept him away from his patients and the people he cared about."

"Anyway, more than likely Mike would have come from where he may have been working side by side with the nurses and techs, meeting with a family about dialysis options, or just talking with a ward clerk about their family vacation. He would pick up whatever food was left behind, down half the sandwich in two bites look up at all of us, and say, 'You know, WE really got a great program here, things are really good, we have a great staff, the patients appreciate everything we do for them, and you know what? I really enjoy working here. I want you all to know you're doing a great job!'"

"...With Mike, what was really important, was the people."

And with MIKE Program...what is really important, are the people.
