The Department of Family Medicine is celebrating its 50th anniversary and over the course of this year, we will tell the stories of our people, our places and our partners who have worked with us to serve our communities by leading in Family Medicine education, research and care. As part of our celebrations, we are asking faculty, clinicians, researchers, residents, students, and admin staff to nominate heroes who have greatly helped shape the community. Here is one of our Family Medicine heroes: Marie Posfai.

About Ms. Posfai
Marie Posfai has been working in CLSCs since July 1991.

"It's a real honor for me to work in this stimulating environment. I never thought I could love my job so much and thrive in it both professionally and personally," she says.
