Greg Greek, MD ’85 (Family Medicine ’88), family physician and director of the Altru Family Medicine Residency Program in Grand Forks, was the winner, for the second year in a row, of a national immunization award from the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation. He was awarded the “Best Practices” award, which gives $8,000 to the Family Medicine Residency program in Grand Forks, for creating programs that identify and overcome immunization barriers that might prevent children from receiving vaccines against childhood diseases. Immunizations have an impact on well-being and longevity, he says.
The Grand Forks Family Medicine Residency is one of 11 winning programs selected by the foundation to receive a grant from the Wyeth Vaccines company.
Greek works with family medicine residents-in-training and sees patients in all age groups.
