Please join us in congratulating MDFMR Geriatric Medicine Fellowship Program Director Dr. Rebecca Spear for being recognized as a 2025 Trailblazing Advocate by the Maine Council on Aging for sustained leadership in advocating for better access and care for older Mainers! Dr. Spear is committed to sharing her expertise to inspire clinicians to provide the best possible care. Her approach is rooted in empathy and mindfulness, ensuring that the experiences and care goals of older people are respected throughout their interactions with the healthcare system. But she doesn’t stop there. When she sees barriers to quality care for older people, she takes the next step to act to reduce these barriers. Whether showing up to testify on critical bills that address Maine’s critical care workforce shortage, lending her expertise to shape policy, or leading efforts to reduce ageism in healthcare, she is not only making a difference, but is inspiring other healthcare professionals to follow the trail she’s blazing. We celebrate her efforts to transform care in Maine.
Committed. Compassionate. Unconventional.
