🍽️ Speaker Showcase: Gut Check 🍽️
Heartburn and ulcers don’t have to be a primary care headache. Join Dr. Jonathon Firnhaber—Professor, Program Director, and Vice Chair at East Carolina University—for:

Bonus fun fact: when he’s not managing reflux, he’s out hiking, biking, or kayaking 🚴‍♂️🛶—so he knows the value of keeping energy (and digestion) flowing smoothly.
