William D. Trainor, M.D., a pulmonologist and internist, has joined the staff of Kent & Queen Anne's Hospital. He will practice with Helen Noble, M.D., and John Seymour, M.D., at Internal Medicine Associates on Speer Road in Chestertown. Dr. Trainor is board certified in internal, pulmonary and critical care medicine. He earned both his undergraduate and medical degrees from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Dr. Trainor completed a residency in internal medicine at D.C.

Dr. Trainor is very pleased to be joining Internal Medicine Associates and working in Chestertown. "Practicing medicine on the Shore has always been one of my dreams-growing up I spent many summers at the Delaware shore," he explains. "I was delighted when this opportunity came up; I was ready to trade working in a city for working in a smaller community with the opportunity to really get to know my patients."

He and his wife Cecilia, along with their son Michael, plan to take advantage of all this area offers.
