“We need more country doctors, but learning to practice medicine in a rural setting can be difficult,” said David A. Symond, M.D., longtime Milford family practitioner. Dr. Symond and his wife, Phyllis, have funded this program in their name with hopes to, “increase training for rural health care.”
