Brooke Thomas, MD, FACEP

Brooke Thomas, MD, FACEP, an emergency physician who works in North Carolina and Virginia, volunteers with Mill Swamp Indian Horses. The program works to prevent the extinction of the Corolla Spanish mustang, perhaps the oldest and rarest distinct genetic grouping of American horses, along with a few more rare breeds. Dr. Thomas got involved when her daughter showed an interest; they found it to be the ideal combination of animal preservation, exercise, and community service. She now serves on the board and is involved in the day-to-day running of the program. After it had success with programs helping veterans who suffered from posttraumatic stress disorder, Dr. Thomas recently started a wellness program for first responders who are dealing with vicarious trauma from their continuous exposure to victims of trauma. Dr. Thomas said working with the horses is both fun and challenging—the work can be unpredictable because of the mix of children and animals. She loves that it helps her get outside and still allows her to care for others in an environment of controlled chaos. The combination of animals and people working together to help one another brings her joy—it’s her “happy place.”
