Family Medicine Residency Program Donation

LifeLong Medical Care gives me an opportunity to live out my dream in serving and caring for urban underserved communities. Being from Oakland, CA, I plan to connect and establish lifelong relationships with my patients, address their needs, and make a difference in their overall health. LifeLong Medical Care's external partnership and robust training will help me in becoming a well rounded Family Physician.

LifeLong Medical Care's mission of providing comprehensive family medical care throughout the joys and tragedies of life in its entire duration, by connecting with each patient one-on-one, and contextualizing their health in the landscape of their family and community, is why I chose the residency at LifeLong. LifeLong provides the opportunity to achieve these goals through the myriad of clinics and experiences in the San Francisco Bay Area.

What stands out at LifeLong Medical Care is how mission-driven and committed the organization, faculty, and staff are to providing quality, patient-centered primary care to underserved communities in the Bay Area. I couldn’t be more proud to be a resident completing my training at this program beside such passionate, caring, and dedicated individuals.

LifeLong Medical Care really stood out to me as a place where people could get truly comprehensive care. Since starting residency, I continue learning new ways in which this program is designed to help us develop fulfilling careers as family physicians. I came to LifeLong because I wanted to be part of a program that would enable me to take care of everyone, no matter how marginalized, alongside others who share that mission.

LifeLong Medical Care made me feel like I was going to enjoy my profession and grow with my peers, patients, and community, rather than wishing I had never gone down this route because I’m so burned out and have no time or energy to take care of myself, let alone anyone else. This program cares about the wellness of its patients and community, and equally so of its staff and residents. It’s the nurturing environment, compassion, and advocacy that I’ve witnessed at LifeLong that has made me so thankful to have matched into this program.
