Our Team

Ryan Shumon Rahman, MD

Board Certified Family Medicine Physician

I earned my medical degree from Tulane School of Medicine in 2012. I then served as a physician in the US Air Force for 4 years. After this, I moved to Memphis, TN where I completed residency and became board certified in Family Medicine. From 2018 - 2021 I was a teaching physician at University of Tennessee. During this time, I trained both medical students and residents as well as developed educational material and curriculums alongside my clinical duties. My desire to move to Colorado eventually led to a meeting with Dr. Michael Banker, who is helping to make my dream of starting a private practice a reality. I enjoy hiking, biking, backpacking and almost anything active and outdoors. Some of my other interests and hobbies include: music, gardening, DIY home projects, cooking, and meditation. My wife is Anna Chollet, MD and we have 2 children, Sarabi and Hakeem. We all live here in Cañon City, CO.

Tara

Business Manager

I've been married for 27 years to my husband, Paul and I have one son, James. We moved here from Southern California 17 years ago because my husband wanted to raise our son in a small town where we could enjoy the mountains, nature and all 4 seasons. I have been in the medical field for 28 years. I started off as a Certified Medical Assistant and worked in many fields like Internal Medicine, Dermatology, Allergy and Asthma, Surgery and Family Practice. I love the medical field and I found that I loved the business side more than the clinical side. I come from a very musically inclined family and I love music from all genres. I love animals and currently I have a 3 year old Rottweiler named Athena, a 17 year old Chihuahua/Pug mix named Daisy and a small cat we call Little Cat.I am so thrilled to be a part of Dr. Rahman’s new practice and I look forward to helping him create his vision of wellness for Fremont county.

Karalyn

Health Coach

Before moving to Canon City in July of 2023, I lived in Fort Collins, CO for eight years. I earned my bachelor's degree in Apparel and Merchandising and once graduating, I worked within management and leadership development for Dutch Bros coffee for six years where I learned all about business, serving the community and empowering people. This platform gave me a growing heart for serving people and helping them reach their goals. How did I end up within health coaching you may ask? Through my own journey with health challenges and personally experiencing the way health and wellness is not a ‘one size fits all’, I discovered a passion I have to help others along their own journey. I earned my Health Coaching Certification through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and am excited to continue pursuing my education in health and wellness. When I am not pursuing these things, I enjoy yoga, cycling, creating with my hands, cooking and being with my people. I am eager to dive into this community and support you all on your journey!
