Dr. Sam Weir is Tuesday’s Hometown Hero.

Dr. Weir played a key role in the recent redesign of the UNC Family Medicine Center.  But, he credited the entire team for all of their hard work.

The vision of the UNC Department of Family Medicine is to promote the health of the people of North Carolina and the nation through leadership and innovation in clinical practice, medical education, research and community service. As an instrument of the State of North Carolina, we are concerned with both current needs and future generations, and have a special commitment to the underserved, mothers and children, the elderly and other populations at risk in a time of rapid changes in the organization of health care.

You can nominate your own Hometown Hero.  WCHL has honored local members of our community everyday since 2002.
