Kimberly Craig RN

Healthcare is Human: Recovery Series continues an in-depth look at individuals working in substance abuse recovery in Martinsburg, WV. Who are the incredible folks doing this important work? With such a difficult disease, why do they choose to work in recovery? 

We meet Kimberly Craig RN, who says, “Each patient who comes through here (the crisis center) is human,  just like myself or anybody in this room. They're humans and they make  mistakes. And sometimes those mistakes are drug and alcohol use. That does not make them any less of a person.”  

“When you present someone with care, love, hope, that could be the deciding factor on whether or not they continue to abuse drugs, or not.”  

Healthcare is Human was created by Ryan McCarthy and is a signature program of the Internal Medicine Residency at the Berkeley Medical Center. Writer and poet Renée K. Nicholson co-hosts the podcast. 

This podcast is engineered by Kym Mattioli. Isaac McCarthy plays the banjo to open and close the show.
