The Best of Dr. Huey Kidd balances his pursuit of purpose with his creative passion. Dr. Huey Kidd

grew up in Anniston, Alabama in a home that encouraged creativity. His grandfather was an accomplished musician; his mother, a photography hobbyist; his father and sister, visual artists. However, Kidd struggled to find his own creative bent among this talented family. Kidd first fell in love with the art of photography in a high-school art class. Using black and white film to shoot his images, he developed them himself in a dark room. “I enjoyed this,” he stated. “They used two of my images in the school yearbook. I got a kick out of that, but film was expensive, and I didn’t have the money to pursue it after high school.”

Kidd chose to become a doctor instead of pursuing a career in art. Helping people while enjoying financial stability appealed to him. He graduated from Auburn University and went to medical school at Nova Southeast University in Miami, Florida. He opened Physicians Care in Thomasville and later established five health care clinics in underserved communities around Southwest Alabama. 42 42 Cooperative Cooperative Farming Farming News News
