Kimberly Jackson, MD founded Physicians Working Together (PWT) in 2015 in order to create an exciting social movement that organically connects physicians and patients. The non-profit organization is now an important cornerstone in physician advocacy, positive public relations, and educational empowerment. It provides a platform where doctors are able to combine efforts that will strengthen healthy physician relationships through collaboration and genuine camaraderie. “By fostering supportive relationships we will strengthen our ability to provide quality patient care overall.”
Within the first two years of organizing PWT, Dr. Jackson arranged healthcare town halls in order to call for positive change in healthcare. The altruistic leader opened the dialogue between legislators about the importance of physicians’ leadership in practice, professional development and the overall well-being of both physicians and the community. Dr. Kimberly Jackson was selected by Medelita for their H.I.P. (Honoring Inspiring Professionals) Ambassador Program.
