Pioneering Members

The launch of the Upper Midwest Affilliate Society of ACOFP would not be possible without the dedication of our Pioneering Members. These physicians stepped forward to help build a strong foundation for our community from the very beginning. Here, we proudly recognize their commitment to advancing family medicine and supporting fellow DOs across the region.

"Getting involved with ACOFP-UMW soon after moving to Iowa allowed me to build a professional network while staying up-to-date on issues and practical information vital to my practice. Working and learning alongside both new and ‘seasoned’ family docs makes me feel connected to people who share a lot of my values when it comes to patient care and the future of our profession."
