Bill and Elena

Dr. Hathaway currently serves as the Chief Medical Officer of the North Carolina Division of HCA Healthcare/Mission Health. Bill and his wife Sharon moved to Asheville in 1999 with their three children Sarah, Meghan and Will. Bill practiced for 20 years with Asheville Cardiology and has been actively involved with a host of community organizations and is excited to support the Mountain Child Advocacy Center (MCAC).

Elena, a native Russian, lives in Asheville with her husband and 4 year daughter Victoria. A dancer since childhood, she has been teaching for the past 2 years and welcomes the opportunity to support the MCAC by (patiently) donating her time to teach Bill to dance.

In his position as the Mission Health Chief Medical Officer he has witnessed first hand the critical role that the MCAC has played in supporting children and their families who have experienced child abuse. The partnership of MCAC with the the Child Safety Team at Mission Children's Hospital has been critical for the care of so many of our communities most vulnerable members. The MCAC works diligently to identify and respond to child abuse and neglect in Buncombe County by educating, advocating and empowering the public to protect children and reduce trauma through a coordinated community effort reaching nearly 700 children each year.  The impact on these families is truly impossible to quantify. 

Bill and Elena are thrilled to support the MCAC by participating in the 2020 Dancing With The Local Stars. Please join them in their support of this worthy cause by voting for them and donating  on this page! Also mark your calendars for April 26, 2020.
