Dr. Jeff Domingus

Dr. Asistores and Dr. McCain talk with Dr. Jeff Domingus about burnout, healing, and finding meaning in medicine. Dr. Domingus is a family physician with Healthy Community Health Centers (HCHC). He shares how burnout is related to autonomy, mastery, and fulfillment.

"Founded in 2007, HCHC’s mission is to provide patient-centered healthcare that is accessible and affordable for all. As a nonprofit health care organization, HCHC seeks to ensure that affordable, high quality primary health care services are made available to all residents of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, including family medicine, pediatrics, behavioral health, women’s health, prenatal care, dental services, HIV/AIDs care management, and pharmacy.

HCHC provides care at three locations in the Valley: Stone Port on Little Sorrell Drive in Harrisonburg; Park View located within Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community in Harrisonburg; and Elkton located in the Shen Elk Plaza in Elkton. With donor support and as a federally qualified health center (FQHC), HCHC makes health care possible for a wide range of individuals and families that would not otherwise have access to quality medical care. HCHC strives to be a “medical home” for its patients so that health and well-being are a priority in our community."
