RING AROUND THE ROSIE THE POWER WE HOLD Reflection for Those Who Heal, Lead, and Decide by Dianne Marie Normand Hartley Asclepius, the ancient Greek god of medicine, embodies the timeless pursuit of healing through knowledge and compassion. Traditionally depicted with a staff entwined by a single serpent, Asclepius became a lasting symbol of medical care and the moral responsibility that comes with the power to heal. His legacy continues to serve as a reminder that medicine, at its core, is both a science and a sacred trust. 24 MAY / JUN 2025 I  HEALTHCARE JOURNAL OF ARKANSAS
