Read More about Hans
I am very fortunate to lead a team of highly committed and talented medical professionals. Charter is an entrepreneurial-minded group and since our founding in 2017 we have developed a number of successful services in various settings. One of my important responsibilities is to help the clinician – physician and nurse practitioner – develop a practice based on her or his interests and potential. I continue to be active in practicing internal medicine and am currently devoting more time to help those with problems with addiction, mental illness, and obesity.
