Leonard D. Reeves, MD, FAAFP
It is with bold excitement that the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians has nominated Leonard D. Reeves, MD, FAAFP for the 2016 AAFP Board of Directors.
Dr. Reeves has a rich background and has served both the Georgia Academy and the American Academy. He was President in 2009-2010 and previously served as Chair of the Education and Research Committee. Dr. Reeves is currently a GAFP voting delegate to the AAFP Congress of Delegates.
We are enthusiastic about his ability to have a national platform to expand his leadership and vision of family medicine.
Dr. Reeves believes that the time is now to stand up for Family Medicine, and that…
- Adequate Healthcare for America is a must…
- Patient Centeredness is what people want…
- Healthcare is a team sport, not an individualized event…
- We need more students choosing Family Medicine…
- We need more physicians in the rural underserved areas…
- We need more Family Physicians…
FAMILY PHYSICIANS ARE THE ANSWER…FAMILY MEDICINE IS THE RIGHT THING!
He says that the future of America’s Health depends on taking care of the sick, comforting those in need and preventing disease! Family Medicine does all of these things!
“The Right thing for Family Medicine is to stress how essential we are to the Nation’s Healthcare system.
We need to take care of patients, prevent illness and let people know about the inequities that abound in healthcare, including adequate compensation. We need incentive pay to put physicians where they are needed not just where it is beneficial to the business of medicine!”
He will be the voice of family medicine at the AAFP for all of us!
