Dr. Redd was raised in Murray, Utah. He was educated in the
Granite School District, participating in science and music and excelling in
auto mechanics. Agriculture was a significant part of his childhood and
adolescence. He started his own business doing custom plowing at the age of 11, doing so until leaving on a mission for the LDS church at the age of 19.
After serving a mission in Southern Brazil, Dr. Redd continued his education at BYU,
earning a degree in Chemistry and graduating with honors. He financed college
through hard work—milking cows and cleaning chicken coops.
After earning his undergraduate degree, Dr. Redd earned a Medical Degree at the University of Utah School of Medicine. He did his internship and
residency in internal medicine at the Oregon Health Sciences University, again
finishing with honors.
After his residency, Dr. Redd practiced internal medicine for 16 years in
Logan, Utah. Then, the Bear River Health Department hired him as Deputy Director and Medical Officer where he oversees health issues for Cache, Box Elder, and Rich
counties. In addition to his responsibilities at the health department, he has
served as Chairman of the Cache Valley Air Quality Task Force, Medical Director for IHC Hospice, Cache Valley Region, and Emergency Department Physician at
Logan Regional Hospital. He has also shown his capabilities in other areas,
farming wheat and other crops in Lewiston, Utah, for 14 years; owning and
managing an apartment complex in Logan for ten years; continuing his interest
and expertise in auto mechanics; participating as a leader in the Boy Scouts of
America for 17 years; mentoring refugees; and raising four children with his
wife of 32 years, Susan Jackson Redd.
In addition to his responsibilities at the Health Department, Dr. Redd is currently serving as:
Deputy Medical Examiner for the Cache County Coroner
Off-line Medical Control Officer for Cache County EMS
Cache County Jail Physician, providing inmate healthcare, including
alcohol and drug detox
Bear River Mental Health physician, providing outpatient and
inpatient care for people suffering with mental illness
Patients for Access Hospice can feel very comfortable with Dr. Redd's knowledge and expertise in end-of-life care. The Access Hospice team, as well as the patients, welcome Dr. Redd as a hospice Medical Director.
My friend Esther told me this through an e mail! I live in San Antonio Tx, but she lives in Logan! This is what she told me about her bosses husband!
ReplyDelete"My boss just told me that her husband is very sick and he had bladder cancer 2 years ago. She can't even get the doctor to sign the forms so she can get home health/hospice to come with nurses."
What can her boss do for her husband please, any advice?
I guess my question is, if this patient really needs hospice health care, what should they do to be able to recieve it, what stpes if any can be taken to get the paperwork, or the ball rolling for them, PLEASE?!
