Doctors’ Day, Island Edition: Prescriptions for a Good Life
Most prescriptions are designed to address specific issues – a fever, a sore knee, high blood pressure – you get the idea. But not everything worth prescribing comes in pill form.
To celebrate Doctors’ Day on March 30, we invited our doctors to share their best prescriptions for a good life – no pharmacy required.
Raymond A. James, D.O., Medical Director
“Exercise is the best prescription a physician can give for physical and mental health. I recommend frequent beach walks and watching every sunset, as each one is unique and will never be seen again.”
Bret Kueber, M.D., Assistant Medical Director
“My prescription for stress reduction: Take all electronic devices and lock them away for 24 hours, may repeat as necessary for stress reduction.”
Emily Haly, M.D.
“Take in one sunset as often as possible – no phone, no distractions. Sometimes the best medicine is as simple as looking up and soaking in where you are.”
Island-Style Care
At the Boca Grande Health Clinic, care is about knowing the people we serve, being part of the community, and offering guidance that supports every part of island life. On Doctor’s Day, and every day, we’re here to help you live it well.
Say Thanks This Doctor’s Day
A kind word can go a long way. If a doctor at the Clinic has made a difference in your life, we invite you to share a tribute in their honor. We’ll pass along your message and feature it on our website to help celebrate the care they give our community.
