Dr. Lynn Puana Announces New Scholarship Initiative to Advance Proactive Brain Health Education for Future Physicians
The award will support students who favor preventive care and integrative medicine, with essays judging candidates on proactive brain health and whole-person treatment.
Hawaii-Based physician Dr. Lynn Puana, founder of the Premier Integrative & Cognitive Medical Institute , launched the Dr. Lynn Puana Scholarship to support medical students committed to cognitive health and integrative care.
