Monalisa M. Tailor, M.D., internal medicine physician with Norton Community Medical Associates – Barret, was installed as the 172nd president of the Kentucky Medical Association (KMA) during the organization’s annual meeting in late August.
Dr. Tailor is both the youngest and first female president of color in the history of the KMA.
“For those of us working in health care, the COVID-19 pandemic has left an indelible mark on our lives. Stress and burnout are at an all-time high in our profession, while mistrust and misinformation among our patients could be considered an epidemic in itself,” Dr. Tailor said. “Now more than ever, we need to come together as physicians to combat these issues and reinvigorate ourselves so that we can continue to provide the best care for the people of the commonwealth.”
