Check out the Q & A session below to learn more about Dr. Hennessy. ### Where did you grow up? I grew up in Traverse City, Michigan–Home of the National Cherry Festival. In high school, I went to Interlochen Arts Academy in Interlochen, Michigan and majored in academics and vocal performance. It was a boarding high school and we had many coffeehouses and performances which further solidified my love of music. I was raised as a Michigan Wolverine football fan (Dad played football in college), but graduated with a degree in biology, molecular biology and biotechnology as a Michigan State University Spartan. At MSU, I worked as a resident assistant in the dorms, I was a calculus tutor, and worked in a wheat genetics lab and a laser lab. I went to every football game for many years and played pickup and intermural ice hockey. ### Please tell us about your family. My family is my greatest priority. I met and married my medical school sweetheart and we now have two beautiful daughters. I am the older-middle child of four. I grew up in northern Michigan spending much of my time skiing, boating or working in my garden. My oldest and youngest siblings are professional singers and my younger brother works as an industrial athletic trainer. My parents are medical professionals and my Dad is still practicing in Traverse City. ### What hobbies do you enjoy? I enjoy gardening, boating, cooking, quilting, singing, and sports. ### Where would you most like to visit? I’d love to travel to Europe with my husband. I have not been to Spain and would love to go. I have also met colleagues while working as a Mayo Clinic Research Fellow who live in Japan and have invited us to come visit and I would love to take that opportunity someday. ### When did you know you wanted to be a physician? I knew I wanted to be a physician my last year of college when working in a lab. Although I loved contributing to the medical field through research, I determined that I’d rather have direct patient care. ### What was your favorite part of medical school? My favorite memory is meeting my husband while sitting in the back of the room during psychology/ethics. I knew very quickly how compatible we were and that I wanted to keep him in my life. Best decision I’ve ever made! ### What do you like most about practicing medicine? I love the continuity of care that being a family doctor provides. I love getting to know entire families and helping them through various stages, challenges and goals/milestones. I want them to live their best lives. ### Why did you decide to join Schneck Medical Center? I was attracted to Schneck when my husband and I were able to have last minute interviews over our five-day break during the Summer of 2018. Many physicians and their families, including many with small children, came for a meet and greet last minute and all had a great time together. We knew then that we wanted a work environment with people who worked collaboratively and were able to have a great time together both during and after work. Everyone communicated well and I think that this is key for great patient care. ### Insurance Plans Accepted - Aetna Cofinity - Aetna Commercial - Aetna Coventry - Aetna First Health - Aetna Medicare Advantage - Anthem Commercial - Anthem Health Sync - Anthem Healthy Indiana Plan HIP - Anthem Medicare Advantage - Anthem Work Comp WC - Caresource Marketplace Exchange - Cigna - Corvel Workers Compensation WC - Devoted (Medicare Advantage) - Encore - Humana Choice Care Commercial - Humana Choice Care Medicare Advantage - IU Health Medicare Advantage - Medicaid Traditional - Medicare Traditional - MHS Ambetter Marketplace Exchange - MHS WellCare Medicare Advantage - Multiplan - Provider Health Partners - Railroad Medicare - Sagamore - Sana Benefits - SIHO - SIHO My Tru Medicare Advantage - Three Rivers - United Healthcare Commercial - United Healthcare Hoosier Care Connect HCC - United Healthcare Medicare Advantage - United Healthcare VA Coordinated Care VACCN - UHC/Optum LIFE1 (AARPMCLIFE) - TriCare East - TriCare for Life - Champus VA - Humana Pathways for Aging (HUMPATHMD) - UHC Pathways for Aging (UHCPATHMD) ## Providing Care at These Locations ### [Schneck Primary Care - Professional Building Level 4](https://www.schneckmed.org/locations/schneck-primary-care-professional-building) Schneck Professional Bldg., Levels 4 411 W.
