“A hospital is only as good as the physicians it attracts as partners in caring,” said Kenneth H. Belcher, president and CEO of CharterCARE Health Partners. “The impressive performance of our physicians in this latest “Top Docs” recognition reflects the exceptional experience and ability of our medical staff”.
