(BPRW) JTCHS Introduces a Cutting-edge Residency Program Marked by the Inauguration of a New Teaching and Research Annex. (Black PR Wire) MIAMI, FL — The Jessie Trice Community Health System (JTCHS), together with the Jessie Trice Community Health Foundation (JTCHF), celebrated a significant milestone in their dedication to enhancing primary care with the inauguration of the Annie R. Neasman Teaching and Research Annex and the formal introduction of the JTCHS Family Medicine Residency Program. The initiative marks an important advancement in tackling the persistent lack of primary care providers. The gathering took place at the JTCHS Dr. Fatima Zafar Health & Wellness Center and included JTCHS leaders, board members, employees, resident doctors, healthcare practitioners, and community collaborators. One of the notable attendees was Ms. Annie R. Neasman, the former president and CEO of JTCHS, whose contributions to education and research are commemorated by the annex named after her. “This residency program signifies an important achievement; we are very proud to inaugurate this new phase in medical training at JTCHS,” stated Ryan R. Hawkins, the current president and CEO of JTCHS. “Preparing the upcoming generation of family doctors is paving the way for a healthier future for the communities we support.” The JTCHS Family Medicine Residency Program, guided by a diverse group of medical experts, provides a practical curriculum focused on patient-centered care, community health, and servicing underserved populations. “According to Dr. Joycelyn Lawrence, the chief medical officer of JTCHS and the program’s designated institutional official, residents who undergo training at teaching health centers and federally qualified health centers are more inclined to continue working in underserved regions.” “We are privileged to guide these talented residents as they develop into skilled, self-assured, and caring doctors.”
