Dr. Stan Haegert is a family physician who is passionate about helping healthcare professionals and ministry leaders improve their care for themselves while serving others.

Stan and his wife Deb served as medical missionaries in The Gambia, West Africa, working with the mission for the better part of two decades. Stan’s experience of burnout, recovery and return to the mission field has given him a strong desire to help others learn the rhythms of work and rest that Jesus so perfectly modeled.

Stan and Deb now serve with Alongside, a counseling-based retreat ministry for missionaries and other Christian leaders in Richland, MI. As the leader of Alongside’s MedTeam, Stan enjoys frequent opportunities to teach about wellness to healthcare providers, missionaries, and other groups.

When not hiking with Deb or singing 70’s music on his twelve-string guitar, Stan is usually looking for a good game of chess.
