High Peaks Hospice would like to honor our Medical Director, Dr. Curt Gedney for National Doctors Day by sharing information about him with the team. These experiences led him to take a 1-year course in Clinical Pastoral Education – a course that certifies ministers to work in hospitals as chaplains.
