After several years in the Navy submarine corps, Dr. George (Joe) Dreher entered medical school, trained in Family Medicine and then worked in rural Maine. He became engaged in providing addictions treatment and for seven years worked full-time in a hospital based recovery program. This then led to a residency in Psychiatry at MMC.

Recently, Joe has been working with the MMC Department of Medical Education to provide Mindful Practice trainings for MMC health care providers, Rachel Naomi Remen’s the Healers Art course for TUSM-MMC students and working with the MMC Medical Staff on ways to improve provider resilience.
