PRIMARY PEOPLE | Savita Rani

“The drawings use raw strokes of primary colors. This embodies the idea that we can better understand and care for our patients by thinking of three “primary” elements in their lives—biological, psychological and social factors. The biopsychosocial model can be used as an empathetic approach to helping and healing our patients.”
