Freeman's new Epic-powered Provider Finder gives every provider a public bio on freemanhealth.com — and patients read these. National data shows more than 90% of patients read a provider's bio before scheduling a first appointment. We want yours to sound like you, not a résumé. Just answer one question: What drew you to medicine, and what do you love about what you do?

Write it the way you'd say it to a patient — first person, plain language, no CV recitation (your credentials and specialties are pulled in automatically). Aim for 150–250 words; please keep it under 300.

Here is an example from Dr. Jeremy Goins:

Before I ever picked up a stethoscope, I was writing code. I started my career in computer programming and networking, and I'll admit it freely: I'm a computer nerd at heart. But somewhere along the way I discovered that what I really wanted wasn't just to solve technical problems — it was to help people through the hardest moments of their lives. That path led me to medicine, and once I got there, I found the place where both passions come together: using technology to make care safer, smarter, and more human.

As a hospitalist, I care for patients in a setting that can feel frightening to them — but it's home to me. What I love most is bridging that gap: walking with someone from "this is scary and I don't understand what's happening" to "okay, everything's going to be all right, and I know what comes next from here until I'm better." That transition is the heart of what I do at the bedside.

As Chief Medical Informatics Officer, I get to extend that same mission across our whole system by making sure the tools our physicians and nurses use every day work for them. In doing that, they can focus on what matters: the patient in front of them.
