“Every day is interesting,” explained Dr. Carman. "I enjoy hearing people's stories and like to focus on helping them learn how they can help themselves."
“We are delighted to have Dr. Carman join Dr. Peter Thomashow, Medical Director, and the rest of the staff in CVMC’s inpatient psychiatry wing,” said CVMC President and CEO Judy Tartaglia. “CVMC’s inpatient psychiatry unit serves some of the most vulnerable members of our community and is also a regional inpatient facility. Dr. Carman’s experience with Concord’s 15-bed psychiatric unit suits her well for this position, working with CVMC’s 15-bed unit.
