Send a textIn this episode, we continue to explore the topic of "Time" and "Balance." Listen to Dr White's discussion with Dr Ben Aiken, a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill and the MAHEC Family Medicine Residency who now leads Lantern Health, a direct primary care practice with two locations in Asheville NC. Dr Aiken shares the lessons he has learned in his first job as a "juggler" and later as a collegiate athlete, student, resident, practicing physician, husband, and father. In addition to practical tips on incorporating physical activity and emotional health in an office setting, he offers wise perspectives on the future of Family Medicine, encouraging patience, persistence, and optimism. You will quickly understand why his grandfather, a revered Family Physician who practiced in Tennessee, would be so proud of his grandson today.
