An Interview with
Selma Field

By TOM KANE

Selma Field is director of public relations, marketing and program development at Community General Hospital (CGH) and executive director of the CGH Foundation. She has been instrumental in instituting classes and programs in areas such as yoga, aromatherapy and tai chi at CGH. Field spoke to The River Reporter recently about her interest in alternative and complementary medicines.

TRR: You have been a pioneer of complementary medicine for years. What got you started?

I got started a long time ago because my father-in-law, Richard M. Field, M.D., was a world-renowned homeopath. When I got seriously ill with complications, he dropped a few pills on my tongue and within minutes I was cured. I became curious about it.
