Description

The Rassin Story. Of Love, Loss and Leadership

Far too many great men and women have transformed

history and not gotten the recognition they've earned

for their innovation, toil, and sacrifice. One of those is

my father. By bringing modern healthcare to The Bahamas,

entire generations have lived healthier and more productive

lives. Yet his story has remained untold. Is it because his drive

toward perfection made enemies of other doctors? Is it because

he was never fully accepted by the Bahamian power structure?

Is it because he was a Jew? A clear answer is not easy and likely

found in each of these questions.

Growing up in the shadow of this complex figure was not

easy either, but I adored my father. Like you, my parents made

me so much of who I am. We inherit the values we live, yet

often the best of those values are the most difficult to see. It

can take a life's journey to make that discovery. I write this

story because as I reflect on my life's journey and rise to global

leadership, I want to secure the memory of my parents and

the extraordinary contributions they made to me, and to the

health of all those who visit our islands, from celebrities and

leaders to generations of Bahamians.
