ALON VAINER, 60

-

OCCUPATION: Nephrologi­st LOCATION: Atlanta WORK LIFE: “My work itself has not changed. I take care of patients who have kidney disease, which I kept doing. I rounded daily in the hospital. However, working in a hospital during a pandemic and knowing that every day is a potential risk of getting infected, it was something in the back of my mind. But I tried not to allow those thoughts.”

FAVORITE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES:

“All that’s related to the mountains: skiing, climbing, trekking, hiking and rock climbing. [At home] I mostly walk in the woods and parks close to my house and try to climb any crag in the vicinity. And just looking at trees relaxes me. WHY IT’S IMPORTANT: “I believe we are wired to be outdoors. Being in touch with nature heals our body and heals our soul. Nature is the biggest healer.” Alon is wearing Lowa’s Cadin GTX approach shoe with a Vibram Rock Trac outsole.
