This May, ABFM is celebrating Women’s Health Month by highlighting two family physicians doing unique work for the specialty. These include:

• Sharing the work of Dr. Christine Hancock, a family physician and medical director in Bellingham, WA, who treats a diverse rural/urban patient population. We also discuss Dr. Hancock’s work with patients suffering from chronic pain and opioid use disorder. The article is available on ABFM’s website.
• Highlighting the work of Dr. Kim Yu, a national advocate for improving family medicine practices through her role as National Director of Clinical and Community Partnerships at Aledade, Inc. Dr. Yu has also developed a significant online presence, creating safe social media spaces where women and mothers in family medicine can discuss work/life balance, helping to mitigate burnout. The article is available on ABFM’s website.
