Featured Speaker for April 10th Meeting:
Kristen Dimas
Family Physician
Dr. Kristen Dimas is a woman with a heart for serving her community. After graduating with honors from Florida State University College of Medicine in 2016, she returned to Southwest Florida to complete her residency training at the FSU Family Medicine Residency Program at Lee Health. Throughout her residency, she earned multiple awards for service and advocacy in addition to being elected by her peers to serve as chief resident during her senior year. Transitioning into clinical practice, she decided to continue serving her local community by accepting a faculty position with the same program where she completed her training. Today, as a board certified family physician and clinical assistant professor of medicine, she not only works tirelessly to address health disparities among her patients, but also teaches physicians in training under her to do the same.
Recently, Dr. Dimas has accepted a position as the founding Program Director for a new Family Medicine Residency Program with Healthcare Network in Immokalee. She hopes to improve access to care in her hometown which she credits for teaching her the value of serving one’s community.
