Dr. Michael YoungNot only is the Shrimp Picnic commemorative, it is also a fundraiser. This year all proceeds will go towards publishing the late Dr. Irby Stephens’ book, The History of Medicine in Asheville. Many of the physicians being honored as Cornerstones are featured in this book, which documents the rich medical history of our community.
We hope you’ll join us!
