June 2025 Honoree
Yasemin Akan
I had just delivered my baby via C-section and was overwhelmed. Because of that, I wasn’t able to breastfeed my son. Yasemin made my nights in the clinic more bearable. In addition to giving me tips on feeding after a C-section, she really takes her time with every concern her patients have. She is gentle, strong, a good listener, and emotionally supportive; she’s simply there when you need her.
One night, I was emotionally overwhelmed, probably also due to exhaustion. She came and took my little one for a few hours so I could get some sleep. I was so relieved and was finally able to rest a bit. It was such a blessing, something that was effortless for her, but gave me the strength I needed. Yasemin does an amazing job, and I am truly so grateful to her!

Thank you, Yasemin, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
