North Country HealthCare welcomed four new family medicine residents in July.
Each summer our residency programs undergo a major transition. One class of residents completes its training and those doctors leave for independent practice, and a new batch of recent grads join us for three fabulous and challenging years in northern Arizona. This year, we were thrilled to welcome four fantastic resident doctors to join the residency clinic in Flagstaff.
