 Bio/Links!

Born and raised in a small town, Dr. Chelsea Turgeon's early experiences instilled in her a deep sense of compassion and a desire to make a positive impact on people's lives. This led her to pursue a career in medicine, where she excelled academically and demonstrated exceptional dedication to her studies.

After completing her undergraduate degree in pre-medical studies, Dr. Turgeon embarked on a rigorous journey through medical school, where she honed her skills and gained a comprehensive understanding of various medical disciplines. During her residency, however, she began to question the limitations and constraints of the traditional healthcare system.

Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a longing to explore alternative paths, Dr. Turgeon made the courageous decision to walk away from her residency and set out on a new and uncharted journey. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of a transformative phase in her career.

Embracing her entrepreneurial spirit, Dr. Turgeon ventured into the realm of healthcare innovation, seeking to revolutionize patient care through technological advancements and novel approaches. Her relentless pursuit of excellence and her commitment to patient-centered care have earned her recognition as a visionary in the medical community.
