'Privilege To Take Part'
Denis Trinnel, DO, is trained in internal
medicine and says Medical Residency
graduates are "fortunate" to work in the
Cape Fear Valley Health community that
serves the Cape Fear Region to include
Bladen, Cumberland, Harnett, Hoke,
Johnston, Robeson and Sampson counties.
"We provide care to people who
traditionally do not have socio-economic
resources and access to health care," says
Dr. Trinnel, 35, who is a native of Brooklyn,
New York. "Many of our patients have a lot
of co-morbidities, allowing us tremendous
learning opportunity and privilege to take
part in their health care."
He likes his colleagues, and something
else.
"I chose to stay at Cape Fear Valley
mostly because I genuinely like the people
with which I work," Dr. Trinnel says,
"including patients and colleagues."
"Of the 30 graduates we've already had, a total of
15 will remain – two in OB/GYN, five in emergency
medicine and eight in internal medicine. This
is wonderful news for our community and its
healthcare needs." – Dr. Donald Maharty
