<p>“This book’s publication is timely. … The book provides much to consider as I contemplate the end of this chapter of my life and make plans for the future. I recommend this book to any considering retirement or even just a change in practice location. The text will help us all to honor those special patient relationships that have made us love being family physicians.” (Holly Salzman, Family Medicine, Vol. 56 (8), 2024)</p>
