As part of Whitman-Walker’s 40th anniversary, officially January 13, 2018, we’re sharing 40 stories to help tell the narrative of Whitman-Walker in community. We’d like you to meet Chris Straley, an individual who transformed his personal life lessons into his passion and career. Originally from West Virginia, Chris is a psychotherapist, former Whitman-Walker Health employee and forever Whitman-Walker family!

Learn more about Chris’ story, press play!

Please note this story was recorded in 2016.

Chris’ photo, along with others, is placed on the Elizabeth Taylor Medical Center building as part of its summer 2017 mural.
