PNWU

Today marks 20 years since the founding of PNWU. With over 1,500 graduates leading the charge to improve healthcare access across the Northwest, PNWU stands as a leader in mission fulfillment at a national level, and we’re just getting started. Here’s to continuing that mission!

No swan songs. Never be afraid to use the red pen until the last minute. Remember, it’s about the future, not the past. And, it’s never, ever about you. Thank you @PNWUHealth for being an amazing resource for the health of the nation, and my academic home! #FMRevolution @AAFP_advocacy @futurefamilymed @AAFPFoundation @aafp @ArmyMedicine

At ⁦@PNWUHealth⁩ for a celebration of scholarship recipients in a building that wasn't even dreamt of and for programs that were not even considered when I first came to PNWU as a prospective student in 2007! ❤️
