I feel privileged to be able to establish relationships with my patients and I truly do learn from my patients. I believe my role as a physician is, to the best of my knowledge, to provide my patients with health information that will empower them to take an active positive role in their health. I try to encourage lifestyle changes including exercise, a healthy diet and holistic activities, and stress the importance of medicine when necessary. I support the American Academy of Family Medicine Practitioners (AAFMP) and the California Dept of Public Health's (CDPH) guidelines and schedules on vaccinations to protect your child's and the community's health. ### Outside of medicine Outside of Medicine, Dr. Ward enjoys running, kick boxing, family, sports, camping, fishing and horseback riding. ## Education and training **Medical school:** University of Michigan Medical School **Internship:** Rush University Medical Center, Chicago **Residency:** Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center **Special training:** Masters in Public Health, Emphasis in International Health and Health Education ## Board certifications -
