What made you want to become a health care provider or what is your earliest memory of wanting to be one?

I grew up hearing stories of my great-grandfather, a doctor in rural Michigan who was very dedicated to his patients. He did house calls and took care of the same families for generations, and was often paid in chickens or other goods.
