Hugh Thomas's passion for helping people began in childhood, as being taught by his mother being a labor and delivery nurse and his father a radiologist. But what really sets him apart is his insatiable appetite for learning. Hugh holds not only a MSN in Nursing Science with a concentration in Family Medicine, he also holds degrees in B.S. in Technology, concentration in aviation.

It is his drive to use the latest science and technology to help patients that started New Start Clinics. But, you can't really understand New Start Clinics without going all the way back to Hugh's roots, picking strawberries in the fields with his siblings to help support the family. It was this fundamental hard work mantra that shaped New Start Clinics patient-first approach.
