Biography:

After earning her Bachelor's degree, Dr. Caitlin Downing attended the University of Connecticut School of Medicine where she earned her doctor of medicine in 2016, graduating at the top of her class. She then went on to complete a rural family medicine residency program at Mountain Area Health Education Center (MAHEC) in Hendersonville, N.C., focusing on holistic medicine and preventive care.

It was during her residency training that Dr. Downing met Dr. Landon Allen, who had an interest in alternative practice models for affordable access to high-quality care for those patients who didn't have insurance. The two physicians opened New River Family Wellness in August 2019. In addition to seeing patients at New River Family Wellness, Dr. Downing also joined the emergency room and hospitalist program physician teams at Ashe Memorial Hospital in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
