Dr. Jane Baker has been practicing medicine for 20 years, with the last 16 dedicated to family medicine. Over those two decades, she has cared for generations of patients, advocating for them within a complex health care system and supporting them through every stage of life.
I think I actually always wanted to be a family doctor. I had a really great family physician myself, and she became a mentor to me.
Caring for patients across years and even generations continues to inspire Dr. Baker, and a big motivator for her is the breadth family medicine offers: treating illness while also focusing on prevention, advocacy and helping patients navigate the health system.
