The White House Doctor
My Patients were Presidents - A Memoir
By Dr. Connie Mariano
Foreword by Former President William J. Clinton
A sparkling memoir with an insider's intimate view of the president's office and the people who walked through the corridors of power.
Dr Connie Mariano is used to breaking barriers, used to shattering the glass ceiling. Born to a Navy father and Filipina mother in the Philippines, Mariano traveled and lived military base to military base, typical of the life of a family in the American armed forces. Along the way, she accumulated life experiences and the desire to make her own mark in the world. She has achieved an impressive list of “firsts” that include:
* the first military woman to become the White House Physician to
the President
* the first woman Director of the White House Medical Unit
* the first Filipino American in US history to become a Navy Rear
Admiral
Mariano served nine years as White House doctor, first for the final year of the term of George H.W. Bush, then for the entire eight years of Bill Clinton, and lastly, during the first year of George W. Bush’s first term in office. Today, Dr Mariano runs the renowned Center for Executive Medicine in Scottsdale, Arizona where she lives. It is a medical concierge practice which provides presidential-quality medical care to CEOs and their families. But her memories remain strong of her time with both Presidents Bush and her eight years caring for President Clinton.
These amazing achievements are just the tip of the iceberg of accomplishments for this remarkable woman, told with grace, humor and passion in her book,
The White House Doctor: My Patients were Presidents.
