Family medicine is a medical specialty devoted to comprehensive health care for people of all ages. The specialist is called a family physician or family doctor. A family physician is often the first person a patient sees when seeking healthcare services. They examine and treat patients with a wide range of conditions and refer those with serious ailments to a specialist or appropriate facility. 

As an accomplished medical physician, CEO, and award-winning business coach and mentor, Dr. Haynes speaks to a broad range of audiences, including physicians, health care providers, and organizations supporting employee health.

A bestselling author, Dr. Haynes published “In The Dawn: A Med Student’s Roadmap to Finding a Light in Their Darkest Hour”, where she shares her own story and describes the tools and healing modalities that can help medical professionals erase stigmas so they can recognize and treat depression.

Additionally, she volunteers with Junior Achievement, actively participates in the Daytona Beach Junior League and The Links Inc., and is certified as a Youth Motivator with Volusia County Public Schools.
