Nationally respected physician, public health leader, and health equity advocate Dr. Reed V. Tuckson will celebrate the release of his new book, “Meditations Along The Chattahoochee River,” at an upcoming launch event on Saturday, October 10. The book launch is hosted in partnership with the Chattahoochee National Park Conservancy, a 501c3 nonprofit, at Island Ford Park, Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.
Published by Lucid House Publishing, the book officially releases on September 23, 2026. As a spiritual memoir, visual meditation, and call to collective healing, “Meditations Along The Chattahoochee River” reflects on Dr. Tuckson’s nearly fifty-year journey in medicine, public health, and spirituality. Through original photography and contemplative essays inspired by his early morning visits to the river, the book explores the essential connection between personal healing and societal transformation.
