Honoree Dr. Yvette Casey-Hunter, chief medical officer for the Winton Hills and West End health centers, found her calling while working for the Peace Corps in M'Backe, Senegal, West Africa, and later in Boston, while employed as a regional liaison officer to the national Center for Health Services Research and Development.
"What really makes me go and gives me my greatest satisfaction is to see young people grow into successful, productive adults and citizens," she says.
The daughter of Cincinnatians Dr. Edmund C. Casey and community advocate Liliane W. Casey, she came to the West End clinic two years ago as a pediatrician.
