Join the Circle of Friends and Carolyn S. George on April 27th, 2017, as she talks about her book, The Dorm Doctor, a handbook targeted to college students and their parents to help them prepare for the college experience and the many potential health related pitfalls that accompany the journey.

The Dorm Doctor is a health handbook intended for both parents and students.

• How to maintain a healthy life in a college setting
• Guidance on how to identify and manage common illnesses
• Do's and don'ts that all students should know to keep them healthy during the school year.
• Answers for parents when they call home not feeling well

Carolyn S. George, MD, author of "The Dorm Doctor" and founder/owner of VIDA Integrative Medicine, is dedicated to providing personalized healthcare by identifying and addressing the root causes of illness through an approach called Functional and Integrative Medicine. Her functional medical approach helps her find answers so she can treat the root cause of disease instead of just treating the symptoms. She works closely with her patients to explore their health and identify areas of improvement with both traditional medicine as well as nutritional support to maximize their health and well being.
