Doctor Chuck RadisFollowing his internal medicine training, Dr. Radis and his family moved to Peaks Island off the coast of Maine. His first two books, Go by Boat, and Island Medicine capture the challenges of a medical practice on the Casco Bay islands where he relie on his physical exam skills and a tackle box of medications to manage his patients on more than 100 house calls each year. Dr. Radis eventually left his Peaks Island practice for a fellowship in rheumatology at the University of Pittsburgh's Presbyterian Medical Center but returned to Peaks Island, where for more than three decades he has commuted year-round by boat to his mainland rheumatology practice. Since co-founding the Maine-African Partnership for Social Justice with Dan Crothers MD in 2013, his public health work has focused on South Sudan and Uganda where he has collaborated with Solo Schools in an innovative First-Aid course and partnered with the Massachusetts General Hospital in a week-long traditional birth attendant program. His non-profit supports a South Sudanese Women's group and Youth Group within the United Nations refugee settlement in Northern Uganda. In recognition of his commitment to public health, Dr. Radis has been named both the Louis Hanson Maine Physician of the year and Professor of the Year at the University of New England, College of Osteopathic Medicine.
