After Stan’s medical training, the Haegerts served as medical missionaries in The Gambia, West Africa, over a 13-year period. Stan’s experience of burnout, recovery and return to the mission field has given him a passion to help others learn to care for themselves while serving others. In addition to practicing family medicine in Grand Haven, Michigan, he enjoys frequent opportunities to preach in their local church and teach about wellness to healthcare personnel, missionaries and other groups.
