Hannah Clarke is a Philadelphia native who attended Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, OH and transferred to Sidney Kimmel Medical College. She is a creative writer and health educator who uses storytelling as a tool to advance health education objectives.

She is drawn to family medicine because of her public health background, and her belief in whole-person, whole-life care. Through her position on the Board, Hannah looks forward to encouraging medical students to explore the array of opportunities within family medicine and envision a future in which primary care is able to operate at its fullest potential.
