BASIC OVERVIEW

DR. HYMAN: gives an inspiring interview

“I can’t imagine being without the support of Family to Family. No question or concern is insignificant or silly to our doctors. If it matters to us, it matters to them. They bring compassion and understanding back to the field of medicine, a field that should be synonymous with care taking yet most often is not. Their enthusiasm for staying up to date with the current research paired with an equal desire to truly connect with their patients is something I’ve never found elsewhere. Asheville is blessed to have these folks.”-Nesta Kennedy, Mother of two
