Chris Magryta, MD, Managing Partner/Integrative Pediatrician at Salisbury Pediatric Associates

Chris Magryta, MD or Dr. M, to his patients, is a husband, father, pediatrician, writer, and podcaster. In truth, an onion peeler of the why our species has become disease-prone. He has been practicing medicine in North Carolina for twenty-four years and sees each child as an incubator of change for human health. Thirteen years ago, he started a newsletter to disseminate concrete, ever-evolving science to help parents and young adults navigate the modern world in a healthful way. A few years ago, a podcast called Dr. M’s Women and Children First came into existence, whereby Dr. M interviews guests on topics related to maternal and child health with an upstream anthropological bend and a root cause analysis for change. Now, he is onto new projects with the formation of a clinically integrated network called Children First of North Carolina. As Chairman, he is tasked with guiding a new Medicaid delivery model for the children of North Carolina. The passion to change the trajectory of a child’s health has never been stronger, and coupling the business side of medicine with the science of whole child health is taking shape.
