Our Team

I practiced medicine in Harrisburg, PA from 1976-1981 and then relocated to West Palm Beach. After practicing obstetrics, gynecology and infertility in Palm Beach County since 1981, I decided to retire in September 2020.

It was ironic that in February 2021 while receiving my Covid vaccination at St Lucie County Health Department, I met Dr. Nancy Harris, DNP APRN, who asked if she could have the Executive Director at Hands contact me about volunteering at the Clinic.

After meeting all of the clinicians and personnel at Hands, I was captivated at their caring and dedication to an underserved population of St Lucie County that had limited access to health care.

I assumed the position of Chief Medical Officer of the Hands clinic in March 2021. My dream is to create a comprehensive teaching program for APRNs, medical students, dental students and family practice residents.

Our medical staff is now affiliated with Florida State Medical School, Florida Atlantic University Medical and Nursing Schools and Nova Dental School. I am currently working to fulfill the Hands mission to give the highest quality of care to the underprivileged community of St Lucie County. This is all of our collective passion at Hands and I am proud to be a part of this.
