Dr. Ron Scheib brings to Pritikin a vast and varied career in cardiology that spans four decades. While in private practice in Florida from 1968 to 2006, he held multiple hospital positions at the Miami Heart Institute. They included Chief of the Section of Cardiovascular Medicine, President of the Medical Staff, chairman and member of multiple committees involved in creating protocols and standards of care, and ultimately, chairman of the hospital’s Board of Trust.
In 2006 Dr. Scheib joined the medical team at the Pritikin Longevity Center and shortly thereafter assumed the role of Medical Director. He finds it "fascinating" to be working at an organization that has been ahead of the standards in medicine "for decades and is only now being appreciated." He also finds it "altogether rewarding to watch the improvement in patients involved in the Pritikin Program. It is even more rewarding to understand we are dramatically improving quality of life and potential longevity."
