"I was consistently impressed with Joy's intelligence, enthusiasm for and integrity about her work, and her commitment to health promotion and education. She originally described her idea about BALANCE to me several years ago. I consistently encouraged her to pursue this direction with her career, because she clearly had innovative ideas about an area of healthcare education that is inadequately addressed in the current U.S. medical education system."
