Family Medicine Education for Mendocino County (FMEMC) was developed as a community-based interest group that will be an independent advisory board to the family medicine residency training program starting at Adventist Health Ukiah Valley in 2019. FMEMC represents the interests of the local community, seeking to maintain vested financial interest in the residency program and overseeing the unique healthcare needs that are applicable to our own community.

2017-2018 Board of Directors: 

• Mary Anne Landis, President
• Daphne Macneil, Vice President/Treasurer
• Colleen Gorman, Secretary
• Darca Nicholson
• Linda Burris
• Kirk Fuller
• Jeanne Collins

The original Board of Family Medicine Education for Mendocino County was seated in April of 2015. The community members who are listed below, secured tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status in December, 2015. Events planning, education and fundraising are the primary activities of the volunteer board members. Another major function of this board is to serve as a conduit with rural Mendocino and Lake County residents so that their opinions and ideas are able to be embedded in the curriculum of the Family Medicine Residency Program at Adventist Health Ukiah Valley.
