Some of you may remember Bernadette Atanga MD, who graduated from Hurley's Combined Medicine-Pediatrics residency program a few years ago. Yes, she's still practicing medicine. And, yes, she still records 15-minute radio talksin Flint about health issues, to be aired for educational purposes in her native country of Cameroon. Now, as part of the Atanga Peace Project, she's working to make things better for women, children and others in West Africa.
