When Dr. Ben Edwards moved to West Texas nearly two decades ago, he didn’t plan on becoming a pioneer in holistic healthcare. His dream was simple: to follow in the footsteps of his grandfathers, old school physicians who cared for entire communities with dedication and heart. That desire led him first to Post, Texas, and ultimately to Lubbock, where Veritas Medical and Veritas Wellness now serve individuals and businesses across the region and the country.
Today, Veritas stands as a fast-growing, education-centered health organization whose mission is reflected in its name. The name Veritas is Latin for “truth”, and the community has taken notice of the difference they are making. Dr. Edwards was recently awarded the 2025 Defender of the Year award from the Children’s Health Defense for this work, navigating the challenging measles outbreak in Garza County.
