PUTNEY — Starting in the middle of June, Dr. Kari Dickey will be joining current and long standing practice providers Richard Fletcher, FNP and Maggie Lake, FNP, in the Putney Family Healthcare, a family practice office that is now owned by Brattleboro Memorial Hospital.
Dickey, a family medicine physician, is a Doctor of Osteopathy Medicine (DO), having received her medical degree from the University Of New England College Of Osteopathic Medicine and then doing residency at Dartmouth (N.H.) Family Practice.
Prior to joining the Putney practice, Dickey practiced at Harrison Peeples Health Care Center in Varnville, S.C., and its affiliated hospital, Hampton Regional Medical Center. She said she is happy to be returning to New England having grown up in nearby Cheshire County in New Hampshire. She plans to move with her 21-month-old daughter to the Putney area in the near future.
Dickey is replacing Walter Slowinski, MD, who retired from practice last fall. As a result of Slowinski's retirement, Putney Family Healthcare has been without a physician for several months.
Putney Family Healthcare is located at 126 Main St.. Patients may call 802-387-5581 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Dickey after June 20.
