It all started when…
Jesus heard it, he said to them, It is not the healthy who need a physician, but the sick.
Mark 2:17
William J. Mazzella, M.D.
As a child, he visited a local nursing home caring for stroke victims. A frail, old man in a wheelchair struggled to speak, but instead of words coming from his mouth only drool spewed out. The frustrated old man wept unconsolably. Then, little Billy wrote a program on the Apple II plus that helped aphasic stroke patients to communicate. It was the best that he could do at the time.
While studying at UNC School of Medicine, he volunteered medical services to the uninsured/underinsured at the SHAC clinic. It was the best that he could do at the time.
During residency, he traveled abroad to impoverished countries on medical missions. He has drained abscesses, killed parasites, and alleviated diarrhea. It was the best that he could do at the time.
Now, Dr. Mazzella practices Internal Medicine in hospitals and Intensive Care Units throughout the United States. When at home with his family, they take to the streets. They provide medicine, food, clothing, and love to the homeless. After dark, Dr. Mazzella can be seen under bridges, on the streets, and in the alleys fighting disease, hypothermia, hunger, and loneliness. It is the best that he can do at this time.
The homeless need your help.
