Reinvesting in Ourselves: Our Focus for 2020 and Beyond
5 Drinks with: Dr. Curtis Hennessey
For 25 years, Dr. Curtis Hennessey has been the face of veterinary medicine on the island. Since setting out his shingle, he’s seen cats and dogs and animals of all stripes (not to mention spots).
Beyond the many domestic animals that call the island home, he’s served as the long-time caregiver for Beaufort County’s trained dogs—and recently, one highly infamous opossum.
