Dr. Karl Watts in the News
Dr. Karl Watts is not just the founder and president of Genesis World Mission, he's also become a local healthcare "celebrity" which we are proud to know. In October 2009, he was named the 2010 Physician of the Year by the American Academy of Family Physicians. But that pronouncment only confirmed what many Idahoans already knew about Dr. Watts: he is a bold leader, articulate reformer, and and outspoken champion of the underserved, both locally and internationally.
