Chris Bolander is a DMU osteopathic medical student and the first-year liaison to the Preventive Medicine Club. As he states, "The health of our patients and ourselves starts with the decisions we make each day. It is my goal to not only offer treatment to my patients, but to give them knowledge and guidance to maintain a healthy lifestyle."

Chris adds that he endeavors to "practice and enjoy what I preach. I love to go running, play ultimate Frisbee and Yogify to stay active. Your mental health is equally important -- eat, drink and be merry, I say! My fiancée and I are Pacific Northwest natives, enjoying every bit that Iowa has to offer."
