Housecalls for the Homebound
When Dr. Samuel Lupin’s critically-ill daughter passed away he was understandably devastated. Then he channeled his grief into serving other patients who, like his late daughter, were fragile and housebound. “”Because of her, I got involved in this,” he says. “You sort of feel like, these are my patients, this is my extended family, and they need me much more than patients in an office.” Little did Lupin know that a decade later, his encore venture would grow from a one-doc shop into a thriving multigenerational practice.

Editor’s note: Dear Friends, One of the hardest lessons for each of us to learn is to stretch ourselves and to go beyond our own comfort zones. The universe is constantly gently guiding us to our edges. When we react in an uncomfortable way to others, our reactions say more about ourselves than they do about others. Consider approaching your life as if other people were mirroring back to you, important information about yourself and see how this leads you to change your actions or interactions as our stories help reveal this week. –Ameeta
