National Women Physicians Day is celebrated each year on February 3 in honor of the birthday of Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States in 1849. This important day recognizes the dedication, leadership, and lasting impact of women in medicine, who now represent a significant portion of the physician workforce and more than half of all medical students.

The Fairfield County Medical Association is proud to recognize all of the women physicians within our membership. We extend special appreciation to the seven women physicians who generously volunteer their time and expertise to serve on the FCMA Board of Trustees: Jill Denowitz, MD; Emilia Genova, MD; Andrea Hagani, MD; Robyn Matloff, MD, MPH; Robin Oshman, MD, PhD; JoAnn Smith, MD; and Cristina Tamasdan, MD. Their insight, commitment, and leadership help strengthen our organization and advance our mission to support physicians and advocate for high-quality patient care throughout Fairfield County.

Today, and every day, FCMA celebrates the extraordinary contributions of women physicians and the vital role they play in shaping the future of healthcare.
