N.C., — AdventHealth Hendersonville is excited to welcome a familiar face in the Western North Carolina community to its AdventHealth Medical Group team. James Marnock, MD is now caring for patients at AdventHealth Medical Group Family Medicine at Black Mountain. Board-certified in family medicine, Dr. Marnock spent the past 20 years working in private practice in the Black Mountain and East Asheville areas.

“After 20 years of working as an independent physician, I began looking for an organization that also treated patients and staff as family, with the advantage of additional teamwork and excellent healthcare resources. I feel like AdventHealth checks off all the boxes,” said Dr. Marnock.

In addition to his board-certification in family medicine, Dr. Marnock is also fellowship trained in primary care sports medicine. Before moving to the mountains, he served as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy Medical Corps.

The call to the medical profession is steeped in a tradition of compassion and caring for people that dates back four generations to Dr. Marnock’s great, great, grandfather. “I cherish the reward of helping others and love the opportunity to continue to learn about medicine’s new discoveries.”

“Dr. Marnock is a terrific addition to our family medicine teams in our offices in eastern Buncombe County,” said Christy Sneller, Vice President of Physician Services at AdventHealth Hendersonville. “His love of this community comes through with his commitment to whole-person care for the body, mind and spirit of each one of his patients.”
