It's Public Health Week, and we'd like to recognize one of our soon-to-graduate UNC Family Medicine Residents who has been engaged in public health work well before graduating from the MD/MPH program at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine and UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. Ben Kaplan, MD, MPH, has a mission to make health and wellness accessible to everyone. He was recently interviewed as an alumnus of the UNC Center for Health Equity Research (CHER), where he developed a passion for researching ways to improve equitable healthcare for those experiencing socioeconomic barriers. Today and in his practice, Kaplan stresses the importance of “meeting everyone where they are” and has a passion for LGBTQ+ validating care and providing medical care for those with multiple chronic illnesses and socioeconomic challenges.
