Today, I visited Lake County where a blanket of snow created a such beautiful sites. A feeling of glee was in the air as children where sledding and this pictured statue peacefully stood watch.

In an incredible and divinely shaped turn of my journey, much of my future service will be to the people in Lake County California. The people here are resilient, culturally rich, and deeply rooted.

I will be joining an amazing team at Sutter Lakeside that serves with compassionate care and dedicated commitment to our neighbors. I bring my uniquely shaped experience and skills to serve with great will and heart. Most importantly, this work is for the glory of God.

After serving the greater area of Grass Valley and Auburn California for the past 20 years, I say good-bye to the people, the coworkers, and the neighbors that have been in my life. For the past several years, I have been the Chief Medical Officer of Western Sierra Medical Center. Leading alongside a team through power outages, winter storms, fire scares, and a pandemic. Nothing has humbled me more than the recent outpouring of love and appreciation towards me as I close this chapter in my life.

The Lord works in mysterious ways and His will is being done as I am called to a new community, new people, and new neighbors. Later this month, I will call Ukiah, CA my new home, joining Mendocino Community Health Clinic (MCHC). It will be my honor to serve alongside a new team through whatever comes our way for the greater good. Yes, God works all things for good to those who love him.

As always, my mission is to improve quality of life where ever I serve. Bringing health to communities, one life at at time, is what I do. Whether the lives are touched by a debilitating painful experience and/or the suffering of substance abuse, I bring healing, empathy and love to my practice of medicine. The most important aspect of that practice is love, the ultimate medicine.

Forming relationships that allow the formation of trust and common goals is the best medicine and my starting point. Together patients walk with me through doorways of transformation. Each step brings improved health on a physical, mental and spriritual level. Each barrier is met with a calm, quiet faith that knows that mountains can be moved.

Follow me on this journey to a new community in a new chapter, where lives will be transformed.

The suffering is palpable. The pain is deep. Substance abuse is claiming the lives of individuals, the harmony of homes, and the health of communities. Just when the desperation gets unbearable, a light can be seen on a distant shore. That light shines from others that have gone through treatment and have reached the other side of suffering. In the process of reaching the safe harbor of recovery, each individual has reclaimed life, serenity, and health. God bless those that let hope shine through into the darkness. That light is a beacon for others.
