Dana Schwartz
A five minute read by Kat M. Lui, LAcOur friendship with Dana Schwartz has evolved over many paddle-boarding sessions, hikes, and teas. She and her husband David Watts have been welcoming from the get-go, as they were some of the first people we met when Dr. Andy Kelch and I moved to Bend.
I’ve noticed that whenever I mention Dana to others, their faces light up, and they smile ‘Oh yes, Dana! We love her!”
Dana brings light and care wherever she goes. It’s apparent in how she makes eye contact with you, how she listens, the questions she asks, and the thoughtful responses she gives. She is someone we admire and respect. And we are thrilled that she has chosen to join our team at Wise Mountain Medicine.
