When I met Dr. Ariel, a pediatrician with a heart the size of Reno, Nevada, I knew immediately his story deserved a spotlight. Not only has he run a successful practice that opened its arms to all children, but he's taken it a step further, lighting the path to higher education for those who thought it beyond reach. Join us as Dr. Ariel narrates his inspiring journey from clinician to champion of youth, and the creation of the LB Ariel Foundation which is transforming lives beyond the clinic walls.
You'll hear firsthand about the numerous accolades his practice has gained, like the CDC's recognition for exceptional HPV vaccination rates. But the heart of our conversation beats strongest when discussing the Foundation's impact on underprivileged students. Dr. Ariel doesn't just talk about change; he's on the frontlines, assisting with everything from laptops to college tuition. His dedication to nurturing not only the health but also the academic aspirations of his patients, particularly black and Latino students, is a true testament to the power of genuine care and commitment. Prepare to be moved by a story of unwavering dedication and the tangible difference one individual can make in the lives of many.
