Welcoming Dr. Carter Muench to the ABH | The Foundation Board of Directors
Carter Muench, MD
ABH | The Foundation Board Member
We are thrilled to welcome Carter Muench, MD to the ABH | The Foundation Board of Directors!
Dr. Muench brings a unique blend of clinical expertise, leadership experience, and personal passion for health equity to our Board. A practicing Primary Care Sports Medicine physician with HealthPartners/TRIA, he is deeply committed to helping patients recover from injury and live healthier, more connected lives. His clinical work is shaped not only by years on the sidelines and in the exam room but also by a deep belief in the importance of community, access, and joy in health.
Dr. Muench is a lifelong learner who currently serves as a department chair and has a special interest in physician well-being, burnout prevention, and collaborative leadership. Beyond the clinic, he draws strength and perspective from his roles as a husband to a pediatrician and as a father to a 17-year-old daughter with developmental and intellectual disabilities. His lived experience as an advocate for his daughter has fueled his dedication to inclusive systems and compassionate care for all.
When he’s not at work, you might find Dr. Muench enjoying time outdoors, cooking with friends and family, or engaging in spirited conversations about the intersection of health, community, and purpose.
Please join us in warmly welcoming Dr. Carter Muench to ABH | The Foundation. We’re honored to have him on the Board and excited for the insight and energy he brings to our shared mission of advancing better health for all.
