In a video recorded at a military base in Afghanistan, Marc McNaughton, MD, a Lake Health board-certified family practitioner with Lake County Family Practice “threw” the ceremonial first pitch at the June 27 Lake County Captains home game.
Dr. McNaughton, who was named Lake Health’s 2014 Physician of the Year, is also a physician in the United States Naval Reserves and was deployed to Afghanistan in January. The video also features a short message to his family, friends and patients back home.
The video was a surprise for Dr. McNaughton’s wife and 12-year-old son, who were in attendance at the game. Dr. McNaughton’s son, Andrew, threw the actual first pitch in his father’s absence.
