Dr. Christine Kistler is Monday’s Hometown Hero.

Dr. Kistler is an assistant professor in the UNC Department of Family Medicine.  Her specialty is geriatric medicine.  She is also the clinical director for their REACH program.

REACH stands for “Reaching out to Enhance the Health of Adults in their Communities and Homes.”  The program helps medically complex and at-risk adult patients who live in their homes and in assisted living communities experience a high level of care coordination for their health care services, particularly around transitions of care.
