Dr. Lanny Seese was a founding partner and worked as a physician at Mullikin Medical Centers from 1979-1995. With a practice that included care and treatment of persons with HIV and AIDS from the mid-1980s, Lanny has continued to have a special interest in their well-being. After Mullikin went public and Lanny retired, his ongoing commitment brought him to the board of directors of Desert AIDS Project in 2004.

Lanny graduated in Pre-Med from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and cum laude with a Doctor of Medicine from The Ohio State University of Medicine in Columbus. He lives in Palm Springs with his life partner, Mark Miller.
