Alexa Lindley was a rotating fellow who served at Tsehootsooi Medical Center in Fort Defiance, Arizona and at Compañeros en Salud in Mexico (2016-2018). She grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She stayed in the Midwest for college at Denison University in Ohio and after college, worked in research at Northwestern University in Chicago. She was inspired to pursue a career in under-served medicine while working at a free clinic in Chicago’s medically under-served Englewood neighborhood. During medical school at the University of Michigan she worked on health education projects in the Dominican Republic and Ecuador. She finally left the lovely Midwest for equally lovely San Francisco to join the Family and Community Medicine Residency Program at UCSF/SFGH where she was inspired by her mission-driven colleagues who care for a diverse group of San Francisco’s most vulnerable patients. Following residency she stayed on an extra year as a chief resident. She is passionate about primary care for under-served patients, medical education and comprehensive women’s health.
