Dr. William BrownerMedical DirectorAs a pediatrician with the USAF, Dr. Browner arrived in Anchorage, Alaska in 1978. After six years of service, he left the Air Force with the rank of Major in 1980 to establish a private practice in Pediatrics. That same year, he was recommended to interview for the position of Medical Consultant at Hope Community Resources (then Hope Cottages). His alignment with Hope's mission, vision, and values regarding human rights and values led him to remain with Hope ever since, now serving as our Medical Director. Dr. Browner’s educational journey included attending the University of North Carolina in Charlotte, the Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest University, David Grant USAF Hospital, and the University of California at Davis. He was awarded the Pediatric Merit Award from Wake Forest University and from David Grant USAF Hospital. Specializing in the practice of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, he has received several awards from Hope Community Resources and the Anchorage community for his medical service. Throughout his tenure, Dr. Browner has been the primary care provider for many Hope clients, first in his private practice from 1980 to 2006, and then in the outpatient pediatric department at Southcentral Foundation from 2006 to 2020. He has also been an advocate for the rights of individuals with developmental disabilities on local, national, and international levels. The growth of the organization and his personal growth through this advocacy work have shaped his journey. He believes that truly serving the needs of others can bring about profound change. With eyes wide open in a changing world, Dr. Browner continues his journey, knowing that the challenges to come will not define him, but rather refine him to his purpose. |
