Episode 166 – “Legacy in Motion: Dr. Maxine Mayreis on Healing, Heritage & a Thriving Glen Cove”

In this uplifting installment of Many Voices, One Community, host Gaitley Stevenson Matthews sits down with longtime friend and powerhouse community leader Dr. Maxine Mayreis—third-generation chiropractor, Glen Cove native, and president of the Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce.

Together they explore:

A Century-Old Calling – How Maxine’s grandfather practiced chiropractic medicine in 1914 Manhattan (sometimes risking arrest!) and why she felt compelled to carry his legacy forward.
From Nurse to Neighborhood Healer – The leap from a 13-year nursing career at Glen Cove Hospital to running one of the busiest chiropractic practices on Long Island.
Chamber with a Pulse – Inside the Glen Cove Chamber’s mission to elevate small businesses, spark multicultural partnerships, and revive Main Street vibrancy.
Service as a Family Sport – The creative synergy with her engineer husband Dean, her parents’ civic example, and why giving back is “the dash between the dates” on every headstone.
Building Bridges Across Differences – How shared values of empathy and volunteerism unite faiths, generations, and cultures into one resilient community fabric.

If you need a dose of hometown pride, entrepreneurial inspiration, and proof that one person’s passion can ripple through an entire city, press play.
