July Physician of Month Dr. Breck McCarty

Congrats to the July Physician of Month, Breck McCarty, MD.

Dr. Breck McCarty joined the Medical Staff in 2008 and serves patients at McCarty Family Medicine. Dr. McCarty attended Medical School at the University of Washington School of Medicine, and completed her residency in Family Medicine at Regional Health in Rapid City. She also holds a Certification in Wound Care.

Dr. McCarty has had a passion for both science and helping people of all ages since childhood. She loves building trust and a bond with an entire family, and being able to care for each person as they age. She believes that listening is the key to building that bond and that when a patient feels heard, the trust and assurance of care follows.

The biggest change Dr. McCarty has seen in her practice is how medical care has become less personal for patients. She feels strongly that one of her major roles is helping patients advocate for themselves as they maneuver through health care today.

Dr. McCarty loves spending time with her 3-year-old son, Jake and her husband, Craig. She has a broad range of interests outside of medicine from reading and relaxing outside to crafts, going out with friends and traveling with her family. Due to a diagnosis of Stage 4 breast cancer in February of 2013, Dr. McCarty does everything she can to make fun memories with her son every day so that he has the best memories of his mom.

Thank you Dr. McCarty for all you do for our community and for serving the people of Campbell County with excellent health care.
