No matter how many individuals appear in the pages of each edition of Keys Weekly, there are always so many more of our community members who deserve to be recognized. In an effort to shine a spotlight on more of the incredible individuals who live and work in these islands, Keys Weekly is proud to spotlight our Neighbor of the Week feature, dedicated to celebrating a community member with each issue. This week’s neighbor has a heart for health care and a passion for our community’s well-being. For almost two years, Christina Greer has worked with the Marathon Area Health Education Center (AHEC). Her role as practice manager and tobacco treatment specialist is vital to addressing the primary health needs of our area.
