Anthony Fleg considers himself a love activist, grounded in a deep belief that love can serve as a vehicle toward equity, justice and social transformation. He is from Baltimore, but now happily lives in New Mexico with his 4 children and wife Shannon. He is a family physician who thinks of his healing work as “occasionally done with a stethoscope, more often done in communities…done with youth and elders, done through art, language, culture, and LOVE…done through listening more than through talking.”

Anthony is a co-founder of the Native Health Initiative (www.lovingservice.us), a partnership to address health inequities through loving service. Through NHI, he helped create the Running Medicine (www.runningmedicine.org) program in 2016, a unique approach to mind/body/spirit wellness through walking and running. He is a faculty member at the University of New Mexico in the Department of Family and Community Medicine and the College of Population Health.
