“Everyone is scared and intimidated at the beginning of recovery,” said King, “but they say that connection is the opposite of addiction. Sometimes it’s just a listening ear when you’re in active addiction that may change everything. Addicts often feel no one hears or understands them.” Photo: Denis King and Connie Wille http://ow.ly/iZKM50ywKw9

“When I started here a decade ago, the facility was primarily a rehab center where accident victims came to recover and the elderly came to improve their abilities,” began Bordeau. “Since then we have evolved to so much more.

When asked to explain what he does in layman’s terms, Mulholland said, “Through trauma, like a car accident, or overuse, joints can become stiff and muscles can become tight. My job is to loosen muscles and unstick joints, to return a normal range of motion.” http://ow.ly/DHnQ50ywK98

For Dr. Andrew Kriger, a third-year resident in family medicine at CVPH, a primary care practice is where it’s at, “I like the strong relationships with patients.

“Inside the ear is a small spiral cavity, similar in shape to a snail’s shell, called the cochlea. All along the base of the cochlea are little hairs (called cilia) that vibrate as sound waves enter. The most common type of hearing loss occurs when those tiny hair cells are damaged.” —Sharon Macner, Champlain Valley Audiology http://ow.ly/3O1p50ywJOe

“Since I grew up in a small town in New Jersey, loved knowing my neighbors and enjoyed the forests, mountains, lakes, and rivers of the Adirondacks, I thought the North Country might be a good fit. Sure enough, from my first visit, I knew this would be a great place to live and work.” —Dr. Susan Rech, Associates In Obstetrics & Gynecology PC http://ow.ly/jpl650ywJHB
