At a recent meeting, members of the WNCCHS Board sent love to Dr. Jennifer Abbott, who recently celebrated 20 years of service at WNCCHS.

Over that time, Dr. Abbott has cared for countless patients and families in our community with compassion, excellence, and dedication. Patients often share how much they value her attentiveness, and her colleagues describe her as an inspiring leader and mentor -- someone who models genuine compassion, clinical skill, and a strong commitment to both patient care and medical education.

It's noted how much she invests in supporting residents and students, and how deeply she gives of her time and energy. It’s also no surprise that many patients speak with pride when they say, “Dr. Abbott is my doctor!" -- a true reflection of the trust and admiration she has earned over two decades.
