FQHC TRACK RESIDENT: PROSPECT HILL<\/p>\n
Hey y\u2019all! My name is Anna and I am a lifelong North Carolinian. I grew up in a small town called Bunn (population ~350), and I worked on a strawberry farm throughout high school. For college, I attended the University of North Carolina as a Morehead-Cain scholar. This scholarship provided numerous opportunities to explore my passions. I spent my summers training as a wilderness EMT, conducting community health assessments in Nicaragua, working on healthcare quality improvement projects in Dallas, and advocating in DC for rural healthcare.<\/p>\n
After completing my bachelor\u2019s degree in Health Policy and Management, I attended UNC again for medical school and my Masters in Public Health. Inspired by my own rural upbringing, I dedicated myself to improving the health of underserved communities across North Carolina. As a UNC School of Medicine Kenan Rural Scholar, my focus was primarily on community-based solutions for rural food access and nutrition. I was privileged to work alongside diverse groups including churches, non-profit organizations, Black and women farmers, and local companies.<\/p>\n
Now, as a proud four-time Tarheel and UNC Family Medicine Resident, I am passionate about providing high quality care for all North Carolinians. My particular interests include comprehensive preventative medicine, maternity care, outpatient procedures, and public health initiatives. I am honored to be a part of a training program where I can learn from Family Medicine experts who are committed to improving the health of our local communities.<\/p>\n
Outside of medicine, I love spending time with my husband, daughter, golden retriever, and extended family. I also enjoy art, interior design, cooking, and being involved in my local church.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
