Community Spotlight: London Lambeth Family Health Organization
Founded in 2018, London Lambeth Family Health Organization (LLFHO) is a group of 10 physicians that practice comprehensive Family Medicine. Just as our name indicates, we serve the communities of Southwest London and Lambeth, with over 13,000 patients. As a Patient Medical Home, we are proud to work with a dedicated allied health team, including our nurse care coordinator, podiatrist, respiratory therapist, and speech therapist, to deliver the best possible care to our patients.
Each of our physicians brings their own superpower to our group, specializing in Care of the Elderly, Chronic Pain, Dermatology, Palliative Care and Surgical Assistance. With a focused practice in Dermatology, I always get excited when a colleague pulls me into a room to look at a rash, a concerning mole, to help with a procedure, or to get a quick in-house consult on “maskne.” Being a team player by lending each other a helping hand, has never been more valuable than in the last few years.
As Adjunct Faculty Members in Family Medicine at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, you will often find a budding medical student or resident clipping through our hallways, trying not to get lost in the purposeful maze that is our clinic. In truth, we love to teach, mentor, and empower our not so much younger colleagues.
We’ve had a racing start. With over 10 new babies among our physicians since 2018, we’ve grown stronger and wiser navigating through parenthood (and childcare), practice management, virtual care, and surviving a pandemic (and childcare)!
I am honoured and humbled, as Lead Physician, to be among this amazing group of vibrant and passionate Family Physicians.
Can’t wait to see what’s next.
