Click Title to continue reading

One of the most overlooked parts of health is simple but powerful: being active, engaged, and connected in your community.
That’s why every Wednesday, I check out what’s happening in and around Auburn and Opelika for the upcoming weekend. I keep a running list of the links below that I can scan quickly for local events—from live music to farmers markets, festivals, and outdoor activities. It’s a small habit that helps me stay involved, connected and ultimately improves health and well-being. I encourage both members of the community and my patients to do the same.
