"When he was 10 years old, George Ford, MD, told his mother he was going to be a ""kids' doctor."" The family lived below the poverty line in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the young Dr. Ford never forgot the pediatricians who care for him and his two siblings.

I love to help, serve and listen."" As an ETSU Health clinician, Dr. Ford also serves as a faculty member at ETSU's Quillen College of Medicine.
