Hendricks, who lives in Woodburn, and Maxwell, a Salem resident, have the training and fund-raising support of a coach, provided by Avon. And many people, including neighbors and co-workers, already have made financial pledges and offered support. A record of service and commitment has won Woodburn Family Medical Clinic's Dr. Michael Grady a three-year term on the Oregon Academy of Family Physicians' Board of Directors. The academy is a society for family physicians who practice in Oregon. It is the state's largest medical specialty society, with over 1,000 members.
Family practice integrates the biological, clinical and behavioral sciences.
Dr. Grady lives in Silverton, where he is active in community service.
