Dr. McNeal knew he wanted to be a doctor when he was 12. “Anybody can be a doctor if they work hard,” he says. He has worked in his health centers for 17 years. It’s a job he likes and believes is important. “I really like helping people,” Dr. McNeal says. “I like teaching people about how to live healthier. It makes me feel good when I see sick people get better.” — By Zavier Wedderburn, Rachel Poley, and Amira Johnson Gotwals Healthy Press Illustration by Teresa Hartley, Highland Park Healthy Hawk
