"Everything in life is connected." — Dr. Lori Arviso Alvord 🩺
Dr. Alvord was the first Navajo woman board-certified surgeon, and she changed the narrative on Western medicine by bringing traditional Navajo holistic healing into the operating room. 🦋 She reminded us that true healing goes beyond just "fixing" a patient—it’s about harmony.
