Summit Health’s ENERGY Department Presents
December’s Healthy Life Lesson:
Traditional Chinese medicine is one of the oldest continuous systems of medicine in history, with recorded instances dating as far back as two thousand years before the birth of Christ. This is in sharp contrast to the American or Western forms of health care, which have been in existence for a much shorter time span. The primary feature of modern Chinese medicine is the premise that good health relies on the restoration and maintenance of harmony, balance and order to the individual. Traditional Chinese medicine takes a holistic approach to understanding normal function and disease processes and focuses as much on the prevention of illness as it does on the treatment. In the United States, people use traditional Chinese medicine primarily as a complementary health approach.

Presented By: Dr. Charlotte Lin, MD – Family Medicine
About The Presenter: Dr. Lin joined Summit Health’s Family Medicine team in 2009. She received her Bachelor of Science from Georgetown University and Medical Degree from University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Dr. Lin completed her residency at Tufts University and also completed additional training in acupuncture at UCLA. Prior to coming to Summit Health she worked on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona for 3 years. Dr. Lin is board certified by the American Board of Family Medicine as well as certified in Medical Acupuncture.
Dr. Lin enjoys being able to provide care to the entire family, from children to the elderly to get a comprehensive picture of the patient. Taking the time to learn about her patients’ background and their value set is important to Dr. Lin, so she is able to collaborate with her patients to develop healthy lifestyles. Dr. Lin believes each person is unique, so a holistic approach provides the greatest benefit. As a medical acupuncturist, she sees her role as a bridge between allopathic medicine and Chinese medicine.
In her spare time, Dr. Lin enjoys yoga, rock climbing, biking, running, sailing, skiing, scuba diving, learning new foreign languages and cooking.
