AAFP President's Corner
Sarah C. Nosal, MD, FAAFP
Community has always been at the heart of family medicine. Our patients do not just come to us in exam rooms, they are our neighbors, our children’s teachers, the people we see in the grocery store. That connection is what makes family medicine so powerful. We meet people where they are, understand their lives and walk alongside them in their health journey.
