As an emergency physician, Ukrainian-American, and partner at Eugene Emergency Physicians, Dr. Tanya Bucierka has found meaningful ways to combine her passion for medicine with her connection to Ukraine.
Since 2022, Dr. Bucierka has returned to Ukraine roughly 10 times, providing medical care and training physicians in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to help expand their ability to care for patients in challenging environments. 🩺🌎
“Cancer doesn’t stop. High blood pressure doesn’t treat itself. Heart attacks are still going to happen. Emergencies don’t stop just because a war broke out.”
For Dr. Bucierka, medicine is about showing up when people need it most—whether that means caring for patients in Eugene, advocating for her colleagues, or sharing her expertise with physicians in Ukraine. ❤️

For nearly two decades, Dr. Geoffrey Gill has provided care for women throughout every stage of life — from adolescence to menopause and beyond. As an OB/GYN at Women’s Care, he believes the foundation of medicine is built on trust, connection, and relationships that span generations.
From caring for multiple members of the same families to supporting patients through some of life’s most meaningful and difficult moments, Dr. Gill considers the opportunity to care for patients and their loved ones a true privilege. ❤️
“People remember how you treat them on their worst days even more than they remember the day they have their baby,” he says. “That’s a tremendous responsibility and a real privilege.”
Beyond the clinic, Dr. Gill is also a champion for physician wellness, sharing his own experience seeking support and encouraging others to recognize that asking for help is an important part of caring for themselves and their patients.

A few weeks ago, LCMS staff attended the American Association of Medical Society Executives (AAMSE) Annual Conference in Louisville, KY, joining medical society leaders from across the country to share ideas, challenges, and innovative approaches to supporting physicians and their communities.
During the conference, LCMS gave a presentation on Project 52: 52 Meetings with 52 Physicians in 52 Weeks, highlighting how intentional conversations with members have strengthened relationships, shaped programming, and helped us better understand the needs of our physician community. 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️✨

As a pediatrician, physician informaticist, and LCMS board member, Dr. Miranda Lanning is using technology to help physicians reconnect with what matters most: their patients.
From improving electronic health record workflows to using AI powered ambient listening technology, she’s helping physicians spend less time documenting and more time listening, connecting, and caring for the people in front of them. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✨
“If we can reduce friction in our systems, we create more space to focus on the patient sitting in front of us.”
For Dr. Lanning, informatics is about designing systems that support physicians, strengthen patient relationships, and give them back space for the art of medicine. ❤️

As Medical Director of , Dr. Corey Rood works alongside children and families navigating some of life’s most difficult moments through trauma-informed care, advocacy, and compassion.
A board-certified child abuse pediatrician, he helps provide medical evaluations, mental health support, and advocacy services for children experiencing abuse, neglect, or violence — ensuring children feel safe, heard, and supported throughout the process. 🩺💙
“Each of our patients has a story, and those experiences may be affecting their willingness to talk, open up, and share the truth.”
His story is a reminder that trauma-informed care and physician wellness often go hand in hand — because in order to care for others, physicians must also learn to care for themselves.

Together, we raised approximately $46,000 to help sustain the Physician Wellness Program (PWP), a confidential mental health initiative providing Lane County physicians with up to six free counseling sessions annually.
🌟 Thank you to everyone who attended, sponsored, donated, and helped make this special evening possible.

“We need people who can live in both worlds — deliver care and yet understand the administration of the care.”
For Dr. Jeanne Savage, advocacy is more than policy — it’s making sure people can actually access the care they need.
Her path into medicine began with childhood visits to the hospital alongside her grandmother, where the sense of care, comfort, and community left a lasting impression that would shape her future.
Today, as Chief Medical Officer at Trillium Community Health Plan, she helps advocate for thousands of Medicaid members across Oregon while continuing to stay grounded in the realities of patient care and community health.
From rural clinics in Southern Oregon to statewide healthcare advocacy, Dr. Savage’s work centers on improving access, strengthening collaboration, and ensuring patients feel heard within an increasingly complex healthcare system. 🤝📋
Through leadership, advocacy, and a deep commitment to community-centered medicine, Dr. Savage reminds us that meaningful healthcare extends far beyond the walls of the exam room.
