Danny W. Felty, M.D.
"As a primary care physician, I am very excited about the Dinners for Life because it empowers the patient to continually learn how to implement and maintain a new lifestyle of healthy eating. So not only can we ‘give a person a fish’, but we can effectively ‘teach him/her to fish’.  I have personally found that it's a great way to really promote wellness to the whole family and their friends."
