Dr. John Chessare is set to retire after 15 years as the President and CEO of GBMC Healthcare, a nonprofit in-patient and out-patient care provider that employs more than 2,000 nurses and physicians on its Towson campus, and in several other locations across our region. Chessare joins Midday to discuss the latest health trends, including rising incidences of cancer, and how to address chronic illness in a clinical setting.
