WE CARE FOR YOU
Our Mission
Dr. David Bruce and Dr. Bill Moore Smith founded RiverRun HEALTH with the primary goal of providing patients personal, compassionate, and the most up-to-date healthcare possible. We all share the same healthcare philosophy: Providing care to the community we all love, while always putting our patients’ needs first. Together with our team, we have provided 100+ years of comprehensive care to our community. We started our own practice because we believe that the independent practice of medicine elevates our patients’ interests, allowing us to provide responsible and personal care. Our team is honored and truly appreciates the privilege to continue to provide care for our patients through RiverRun HEALTH.
