Congratulations, Residency Graduates!
n Saturday, June 28, we celebrated the graduation of two dentists from the NYU Langone AEGD Dental Residency Program and four physicians from the NARBHA Institute Family & Community Medicine Residency Program. This is an exciting milestone for our residents and we are so proud of them!
We also welcomed four residents in the Family Medicine Program, two residents in the PGY-1 Community Based Pharmacy Residency, and two residents in the Dental Residency Program. It was a fun event where we honored the residency transition that takes place for thousands of residents across the country at this time of year. Congratulations to all of our residents across all programs!

Faculty, graduates, and incoming residents in the NYU Langone AEGD Dental Residency Program celebrate on June 28th.

Dr. Jenna Kay Joins North Country HealthCare in Williams
Dr. Jenna Kay received her Doctor of Medicine from University of Arizona College of Medicine-Tucson. Dr. Kay is originally from Scottsdale and has lived her entire life in Arizona. She joined the NARBHA Institute Family & Community Medicine Residency Program in 2022 and completed her training in Flagstaff, where she fell in love with northern Arizona.
Dr. Kay served the program as Chief Resident from 2024 to 2025 and graduated last Saturday. After some much-needed time off, we are overjoyed that Dr. Kay will return to North Country as an urgent care physician based in our Williams clinic.
Recruiting residency graduates from all programs to serve northern Arizona communities and work for North Country HealthCare is one of our ultimate goals, and it is so gratifying to see Dr. Kay choose this path! Welcome, Dr. Ka
