With licensure as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) and a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), Mary Huntly brings a straightforward and dependable approach to healthcare, shaped by hands-on experience and a dedication to meeting patients where they are.

Her career includes leadership in a wide range of medical and caregiving settings. She has managed hospice services, operated a residential group home for individuals with Alzheimer’s, and led a hormone therapy clinic. In addition, she has owned a family medical practice and a mobile healthcare company. These diverse roles have enabled her to develop a well-rounded understanding of patient care, as well as the organizational demands that accompany running healthcare operations.

She provides care across all age groups, addressing a range of health issues from minor to more advanced conditions. Her clinical expertise includes wound care, where she treats diabetic ulcers, pressure injuries, and surgical wounds. Her focus remains on providing timely and consistent treatment designed to help patients heal while minimizing complications.

She also spent four years working with the Department of Defense under a top-secret security clearance. That experience strengthened her sense of responsibility and precision, which she now carries into her daily clinical work and practice leadership.

At Trinity Family Practice, she oversees a full spectrum of medical services. These include annual wellness exams, preventive screenings, immunizations, acute illness care, and management of long-term chronic diseases.

Additional services include lab testing, medication oversight, sports and school physicals, infection screenings, and care coordination with specialists. Each service is structured to support patient continuity and reduce gaps in communication or treatment.

A major focus of her practice is caring for older people. With experience supporting individuals living with memory challenges, she helps provide care plans tailored to the needs of aging patients. Services include fall risk prevention, cognitive health support, medication safety reviews, and nutritional guidance. Her team works with families to ensure older patients are supported across every dimension of their health.

She also leads efforts in transitional care, helping patients adjust after hospital discharge. Her team prepares discharge plans, reviews medications to prevent errors, schedules follow-up appointments, and educates patients and caregivers on what to expect during the recovery process. These efforts help promote safer healing and reduce the risk of hospital readmission.

She earned her Registered Nurse license in 1999 and became a certified Family Nurse Practitioner in 2018. These milestones reflect years of dedicated learning and a commitment to enhancing patient care in both clinical and community settings.

In her personal life, she remains committed to maintaining her health and engaging in physical activity.

His career reflects a consistent commitment to academic advancement, research development, and organizational leadership across some of the nation's most respected healthcare institutions.

Dr. Craig Kent’s leadership experience began as Division Chief in Vascular Surgery at Columbia and Cornell, where he also oversaw the Vascular Service line at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. He later served as Chair of the Department of Surgery at The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. His responsibilities expanded at Ohio State University, where he was appointed Dean of the College of Medicine, Vice President for Health Sciences, and Co-Leader of the Health System. Most recently, he served as Executive Vice President of Health Affairs and CEO at the University of Virginia Health System.

In recognition of his work, Dr. Kent was inducted into the National Academy of Medicine. His national influence includes serving as President of the Society for Vascular Surgery, President of the Society of Surgical Chairs, and Chair of the American Board of Surgery. These roles highlight his contributions to clinical leadership and the education of future physicians.

The National Institutes of Health has continuously funded Craig Kent for over 30 years. He has chaired the NIH’s Surgery and Bioengineering study section and contributed to multiple grant review panels.

Craig Kent, MD, has been invited to speak at over 120 academic medical centers as a Visiting Professor or Keynote Speaker. During his time as CEO of UVA Health, the organization experienced notable growth. Annual revenue increased from $2.5 billion to $4.7 billion, and patient care delivery nearly doubled. Quality performance reached its highest levels in a decade, and staff satisfaction increased by more than 15 percent despite the broader challenges facing the healthcare industry during the pandemic and staffing shortages.

Under his leadership, UVA Health expanded statewide, acquiring three hospitals and a physician group in Northern Virginia, purchasing a large multi-specialty practice, and becoming a minority owner in a five-hospital system in Eastern Virginia. The UVA School of Medicine saw a $60 million increase in research funding, and Dr. Kent led the launch of the Paul and Diane Manning Institute of Biotechnology, scheduled to open in 2026.

He also played a critical role in philanthropy, helping UVA Health raise over $650 million toward a $1 billion campaign and tripling overall fundraising during his tenure. At Ohio State, he oversaw 2,100 faculty members and more than 1,200 physicians. His leadership resulted in the recruitment of over 400 faculty members, significant growth in NIH funding, the implementation of a faculty compensation plan, the development of new facilities, and annual fundraising efforts that collectively reached $200 million.

At the University of Wisconsin, Craig Kent led efforts that doubled the size and surgical volume of the Department of Surgery and improved its NIH ranking from 26th to 5th in the country. Following the merger of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospitals, he unified the vascular surgery programs at Columbia and Cornell, helping to establish one of the nation’s leading academic vascular surgery programs.

Numerous honors have marked Dr. Kent’s academic and clinical career. He served as an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and held professorships at Cornell, Columbia, the University of Wisconsin, Ohio State, and the University of Virginia.

I represent a new and innovative field in the most traditional subject in medicine: Clinical Anatomy. A science without narrow specialty restrictions, fully multidisciplinary. My aim is to bring anatomical knowledge into the context of diagnostic and therapeutic (surgical) application. To translate basic research into clinical application. To teach science and clinical approaches.

I have experience in translating MedTech into clinical applications—also as an entrepreneur.

Milestones of my activities:
* The establishment of a worldwide renowned surgical training centre with 12 complete OR-settings on 2500+ square meter. Annually more than 2500 surgeons from all surgical disciplines take part in more than 100 international training courses.
* The establishment of a platform to use human bodies for research and development in the field of medical technology in an environment that ethically complies with the recommendations of the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA). More than 140 MedTech companies, medical societies and medical academies use the opportunity to test and develop medical products and surgical approaches on donated bodies.
* Pioneer work in the field of digitalisation of academic teaching and CME-certified continued education. An operating room has been connected to a professional tv-studio. More than 50,000 students, physicians and medical professionals registered for the digital, non-profit, series Sectio chirurgica.
* The establishment of a research institute for translational cellular biology on tissue and cell systems from animal models and human specimen. Four task groups, led by experienced biologists, biochemists and medical doctors, work in the fields of microscopy, ultrastructural analysis, molecular biology, biocompatibility and toxicity analytics.
* Developing and patenting of Aminolipin®, a novel and highly effective biocide. Aminolipin® has exceptional properties: It is low hazardous and easily biodegradable - but nevertheless a fully-fledged substitute for formaldehyde. Aminolipin® fixed bodies are ideal models for state-of-the-art surgical procedures such as MIC and robotic assisted surgery.
* Activity as entrepreneur. Spin-off of LICIT Solutions GmbH. Board member of the BioMedTech association, member of the evaluation board of the 4C Medical Innovations Incubator.
