from Appalachian Care Chronicles · host WV Higher Education Policy Commission

Family doctors in rural places fill a special role—and it's exactly what it sounds like—they take care of whole families and overtime, end up becoming like family. Get a view into the world of rural healthcare with Drs. Mary Gainer and Peter Wentzel, a married couple of family physicians serving patients in northern West Virginia. Operating within federally qualified health centers, Mary and Peter discuss the joys and challenges of rural medicine and share what it’s really like to provide personalized care to underserved communities, from toenail trimming and mole removal, to addressing complex medical issues.
