Not sure what to say?

Every time I think of Chris (and it is often!), I experience a pang of regret, that I cannot see him again and enjoy his great wit, integrity, and sense of humor, We lost a great man when Chris Foley died. Everyone loved Chris. Again, love to his family and his many friends from our family, Bob Geist.

To say that Dr Foley was remarkable is an understatement. One of the most important guiding principles during the creation of Woodwinds Health Campus was to Challenge the Status Quo. Without Dr. Foley´s involvement in and support of the integrative medicine aspect of clinical care, Woodwinds would not have been what it was at the time. I only recently heard of his passing and was stunned. He always seemed invincible. It seems none of us are. He, however, made a noticeable and impactful mark...

He was a very good friend and healthcare mentor. My family and I so valued his direction concerning our many health challenges. Our blessings to his family. Mike

We all loved Chris Foley.

Thanks for the gift of you Chris. I'm so saddened by the loss of you in my life and our world. When I first went to you nearly 7 years ago for prostate cancer, you offered your caring, deep empathy, listening and extraordinary knowledge and wisdom. I felt you really engaged with me in finding a solution and we had a great time along the way. We both learned a lot and affected each other, from our delving into true health and life to our always present add-on discussions about politics...

I was shocked to find out about Dr. Foley´s passing, and my prayers go out to his family. He was truly a one of a kind man, doctor, and dear friend. Dr. Foley cured me of Lyme and gave me my life back, and I can´t thank God enough for the time that I had to know him. I will always remember Dr. Foley as a brilliant man who was always absorbed in his continuing studying of medicine that went far behind med school, and far above the call of duty. He remained 110% dedicated to his work until the...

I will miss Chris. He was one of the good ones and an icon of what a doctor should aspire to be.

Shock, disbelief, devastation, and immense sadness--all emotions I am wrestling with upon learning of the passing of my trusted, brilliant, and considerably talented functional medicine physician. Dr. Foley dared to think outside of the box and he refused to color within the lines as he compressed morbidity and maximized quality of life for his patients. He prescribed 2300 IU's of vitamin D for me in the early 2000's, long before it was even "a thing," proving how far ahead of the curve he...

My condolences to the Foley family. A great man and father. As a teacher at his sons´ school, his pride for his kids was a beautiful thing to see. My heart goes out to the entire family.
