I love having the opportunity to care for people infected with and affected by HIV, to work with peers who are motivated and caring, and to be a part of an organization like FIGHT that values primary care, patient advocacy, and clinical research.

I am a physician at the Lax Center and a co-investigator on HIV clinical trials. I am also the Program Director for students and house staff who come to the Lax Center to expand their experience and knowledge about HIV. Finally, I am an attending physician at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

Right after I started working at FIGHT, I saw a patient in the office who looked very familiar to me, but I couldn’t place her face. She was doing wonderfully, had an undetectable viral load, and lots of family support. Finally, I was shocked to realized that I had cared for her two years ago in the hospital when she was very sick, combative, and refusing all care. At that time, it had seemed all hope was lost for this woman, who did not want to get better. Now, she is thriving and healthy, and a gift to her family and friends. She reminded me that hope is never, ever, lost.

The team-based approach to care and the belief that every person is precious!
