Treating Addiction: Compassion meets Courage with Dr. Jen Smith

After medical school and training, Doctor Jen Smith knew how to treat the medical complications from harmful use of alcohol and drugs, but not how to help people avoid those risks through the treatment of their addiction. Through resolute dedication to self-education, listening to patients in the depths of their struggle, and guiding the evolution of Cook County Hospital’s treatment approach, she made a difference. Epilogue provided by Peter Clarke, former colleague, esteemed educator, and primary care “doc” at Cook County Hospital.
