Entrepreneur and Vineyard resident Jeff Levy plans to purchase the Vineyard Haven medical practice at the end of May, staving off a closure that would have left 1,000 patients in search of a new provider.
More than 30 years ago, at a Chinese restaurant in Boston, a message from a fortune cookie set Island resident, Dr. Gerry Yukevich, on course for a lifelong love affair with Caribbean cruising.
After months of trying to book an appointment with a doctor on the Island, Pamela Belain of West Tisbury turned to social media early this spring.
Physician, actor and writer Dr. Gerald Yukevich retires in September after 12 years as a primary care doctor at Vineyard Medical Care.
For the past 10 years, Dr. Raymond (Rocco) Monto’s morning commute has been out of the ordinary.
Three times a week the orthopedic surgeon, one of just two on Martha’s Vineyard and the only one on Nantucket, drops off youngest son Rocco at school while daughter Siena boards a bus to Nantucket Elementary (older sons Alex and Nick are at Cape Cod Academy and the University of Connecticut, respectively).
A Vineyard doctor will receive a prestigious award for humanism from the Arnold P. Gold Foundation.
The Gold DOC award goes to Dr. Prit Gill for his work as a primary care doctor with a Vineyard patient.
Irene Ziebarth, whose father is the patient, nominated Dr. Gil for the honor after a series of medical issues with her father and the sudden departure of a primary care doctor led the family to his office.
