OUR STORY

Dr. Christina Lucas-Vougiouklakis is the founder and President of Hellenic Healthcare Professionals of Michigan (HHPM). She is double-boarded in Family Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine. In January 2019, Christina was driven to connect with other Hellenic Healthcare Professionals but no such organizations existed. She decided to create a unique vision to organize and unite Philhellene healthcare professionals and develop a network of meaningful connections and fellowship through various activities and platforms. Despite launching on March 13th, 2020, Christina persevered to obtain a 501(c)(3) status, create a board of directors, and develop multiple educational webinars and events to continue connecting with other Hellenic and Philhellenic individuals.
