White, Jennifer Manning Specialty/Special Interests: Medical School: Residency: Bio: I was born in Port Huron, MI and moved to Cheboygan, MI when I was 10. I went to college and medical school at the University of Michigan (Go Blue!). Growing up in a small rural community, I learned a great deal about the value of primary care, and I chose Christ because of its strong emphasis on care of underserved populations. I also felt that the faculty and fellow residents were people that shared my values and were good role models for the kind of physician I want to become. I live with my husband and my "baby," a cat named Slinky. My hobbies include reading, gardening, knitting, playing with my cat, and I've just begun to practice yoga. I hope to stay in Cincinnati when I complete my training and work in an urban underserved clinic, possibly as part of the National Health Service Corps.
