You love all your life…”

January 2012: Dr. Elizabeth Weaver Burton

When she is not at the hospital or the clinic, you might find Dr. Burton on the slopes or perfecting her hand roll in her kayak and even occasionally stitching up some poor soul whose head fought a rock and lost!!!

In her quiet time, she may be knitting something intricate & cool or making an incredible dinner or tending the urban garden in her backyard.
