Why Family Health Center? When looking for a residency, I sought a location that would prepare me for a career in global health.  I trained at FHCW and embarked upon a global-local career in Worcester focused on comprehensive, trauma informed care for newly arrived populations.  It is not unusual to have a session at FHCW in which no patients speak English.  The incredibly diverse population we serve , coupled with the academic setting at FHCW provide abundant opportunities for professional growth and meaningful longitudinal patient relationships.  I enjoy being a part of the new American chapter of my patients' lives.
About Amber: One unifying theme of my life is that I tend to invest in growth and development. I provide cradle to grave primary care, am a mentor at the UMass Chan Medical School and serve as a coach in the UMass Family Medicine Residency.  Outside of work, my husband and I have 2 incredible kids that keep us on our toes.  We also are optimistic gardeners and orchardists that raise vegetables, fruits, berries and very fat woodchucks.
