AUGUSTA — Dr. Julia McDonald, of Augusta, traveled to East Africa at the beginning of April with Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders to focus on sexual and reproductive health for displaced communities.

Her dedication to primary care was recognized by the Maine Association of Family Physicians when she was honored as the state’s 2019 Family Physician of the Year. She will return to her full spectrum practice in Augusta and Bangor in 2022.
