President-Elect -  Darlene Melk, M.D. (Chiricahua Community Health Centers)
After graduating from the University of Arizona medical school in 2002 and completing residency training at Phoenix Children’s Hospital in 2005, she sought for an opportunity to serve children with barriers to care.  Her first job working for Mountain Park Community Health Centers helped solidify her passion for the community health center model which allows us to see all children, regardless of their financial or social background. 
 
Dr. Melk joined Chiricahua Community Health Center, Inc. in 2010 and fell in love with the work.  Her team is focused on bringing quality preventive care to children and families in their rural and underserved area through innovation and collaborations.  Outside of work, she serves as the Chief Medical Officer for a nonprofit organization focused on children with special health care needs in Montero, Bolivia and is blessed to have four beautiful sons.
