Preventing illness can be as important to your travel as your passport and plane ticket. Under the direction of Drs. David F. Boran and Peter M. Dunphy, both Board certified Family Practice physicians, sharing a common interest in travel medicine, Brainerd medical Center Travel Health Program is available to provide the international traveler with individualized consultation, vaccines, and recommendation that are tailored to the travelers’ destination and personal medical history.
