Dr. Hurt’s interest in alternative medicine stems from childhood and growing up in a progressive community. She followed in the footsteps of her mother and became a massage therapist in the early 90s and continued to expand her knowledge in alternative healing arts culminating eventually in the decision to attend osteopathic medical school. Dr. Hurt’s approach and philosophy are well-balanced and open-minded.
“In the end, I want people to live happy, healthy lives. People are happier when they are healthier. They can enjoy their friends and play with their grandkids. Why obesity? Because for decades now it has been the number two cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States behind smoking. Saying addressing obesity will save lives seems a misnomer as all life ends in death. But rather addressing obesity will help improve the quality of the life people have while they are here and may even prolong it. Why psychiatry? I originally wanted to be a small-town family doctor. But as I interviewed patients in medical school, one thought was voiced over and over by the elderly patients, ‘Just don’t let me lose my mind.’ It led me to realize in our society, we deem mental illness to be the worst thing anyone can have. So addressing mental illness is addressing people’s worst health fears. This is not the 19th or 20th century when the treatment of the mentally ill was crude to cruel. We have amazing medications to help people with schizophrenia and bipolar to not have to suffer as people did even less than 100 years ago. But even today many medications are not to be taken lightly, which is why patients need to see a skilled provider who is able to see many options, including those outside-of-the-box.”
Dawn Wellness Center is a progressive, holistic medical practice seeing adult patients for psychiatric and weight management concerns.
