Born into a 2nd generation military family, Dr. Reagan B. Anderson learned early that service to others, God and country is a privilege and that being informed, thinking for oneself, holding others to account, and then taking action are the inherent responsibilities of citizenship in a democracy. These foundational thoughts lead to becoming the USMC First Reconnaissance Battalion which resulted in two combat tours to Fallujah, Iraq, and then to opening his own medical clinic in the USA – each a step towards illuminating the pros and cons of the American medical system and advocating for improved medical care for all Americans.
