When he was younger, John Kaveney aspired to become a doctor. But while in high school, he got to observe a physician in the operating room, which made him realize he was not destined for that profession. He said he came out of the hospital “as white as a ghost” that day.

Yet Kaveney remained interested in medicine and helping people, and now he is a health care lawyer at Greenbaum Rowe Smith & Davis.
