Charleston, WV - In this candid conversation, Dr. Heather Skeens unveils the unseen pressures faced by physicians in today’s healthcare system—from burnout and bureaucracy to the erosion of the sacred doctor-patient bond. Drawing from her own experiences and ultimate decision to step away from a broken model, she shares how those failures became fuel for transformation. Through Bellasee™, she now helps other physicians reclaim their autonomy, rediscover their purpose, and deliver care that truly heals.
