Physician Dr. Carter Hill

Dr Hill has been a ship physician and consultant for Holland America Line and Windstar Cruises since 1988. He resides in Seattle, Washington where he practices full time Emergency Medicine at Highline Medical Center where he works 18 night shifts each month. His Medical School training transpired at the University of Minnesota and Residency in Internal Medicine at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle and Fellowship in Infectious Disease and Tropical Medicine at the University of Washington. His academic interests include teaching in areas of Cruise Ship and Maritime Medicine, tropical medicine, fitness education, and third world medical training. An inveterate world traveler, he and his Travel Medicine practitioner/wife (Winnie) have volunteered in mission hospitals in Papua Guinea, Nepal, Kenya, and most recently Vietnam. Perhaps his most significant achievement has been the co-production of 3 natural born sons and the acquisition of 3 adopted daughters (hailing from Korea and Ethiopia) who range in age between 17 and 25 years of age. He and Winnie are just beginning to see the light at the end of the proverbial vocational tunnel, as the youngest are getting ready to head out on their own. This World Cruise is a dream for Carter and Winnie as visiting the Southern Hemisphere and Antarctica was always a bit out of reach until now.
