Member Spotlight: Bringing Health Back into Health Care
Ajoy Kumar, MD, FAAFP, President
It has been over a month since my inauguration as the President of the Florida Academy of Family Physicians (FAFP), and in my inaugural speech I not only spoke about my background, but also what I would like to accomplish during my tenure.
From an Academy perspective, we will continue to follow the 2017-2020 Strategic Plan (https://www.fafpstrategicplan.com/), and I want to continue what former Presidents Drs. Luckey Dunn and Diana Twiggs introduced, bringing family back into family medicine. In addition, I would like to add that we also need to bring health back into health care.CLICK HERE to read more.
