Abstract
I am an African American woman in her 40s who lives in the inner city and have been told I need a doctor to take care of my health needs. I want a woman of color and I found a doctor in the local safety net hospital. I discovered that she is a recent immigrant of African descent. I see that she supervises younger doctors in the Family Medicine office and has many patients.
