People Make the Place: Faces of Martin County ✨
This month, we’re highlighting just a few of the people who help make Martin County feel like home! Each story offers a look at the experiences, connections, and community spirit that continue to shape our corner of eastern North Carolina.
Our first feature is Dr. Steven Manning - Williamston native, founder of AccessMedicine, and a familiar face to many across Martin County. After completing medical school and residency at East Carolina University’s Brody School of Medicine, Dr. Manning returned home to serve the community that raised him and continues to invest in the people of eastern North Carolina through his work and leadership. Read more about Dr. Manning below!
• Inspiration for a Patient-Focused Approach - Dr. Manning launched AccessMedicine, built on Affordability, High Quality, Transparency, Access & Time.
• Making a Difference in the Community - "Our work impacts everyday lives...It’s a model that serves the community I grew up in, and it's a mutual gift for both my patients and myself."
• Why Martin County Matters - "Martin County is my home...I saw a massive opportunity to bring medical students and residents to Williamston to show them how fulfilling rural medicine can be, hopefully inspiring them to practice in high-need areas...My goal is to make Martin County a premier place to live, work, and raise a family, and I am incredibly thankful to raise my own children here while serving the community."
