Anisa Ibrahim, MD, was included in Carnegie Corporation of New York’s 2021 List of Great Immigrants, which honors individuals who have enriched and strengthened our society and our democracy through their contributions and actions.

She received her childhood pediatric care at Harborview Medical Center. Today, she is a pediatric primary care provider at Harborview and medical director of that very clinic.
