Cogswell, David L.: - Dr. David L. Cogswell is a Nova Scotia-based family physician. Over his distinguished career, he has been involved in hospital evaluation and accreditation, as well as committees that license doctors and scrutinize billing practices. He has worked as a consultant for the province, as president of the N.S. College of Family Physicians, and as a preceptor on faculty at Dalhousie School of Medicine. His entire life has evolved in, around, and through medicine, first as a child, then as a youth, and now, as he ages, medicine is daily present in his friends, contacts, and family. Outside of medicine, many interests and activities have featured in David's life; they include woodworking, glass art, antique car maintenance, skiing, singing, Scottish dancing, and ancestral research.

David divides his time between two homes: a one-hundred-year-old house in Aylesford, and a house in Wolfville that he shares with his partner (an author and retired textile historian) and a cranky cat named Daisy.
