As we closed out Women’s History Month yesterday… I’m still honoring this incredible woman 💐”
Dr Marlyn Hirsch, a woman of excellence, impact, and true leadership in healthcare.
Dr. Hirsch is a Clinical Doctor of Nursing Practice, a retired Air Force Reserve Major with over 25 years of service, a college professor, entrepreneur, and the founder of Hirsch Advanced Practice Providers serving over 200 clients weekly in weight management, primary care, and veteran disability services. 
She has been recognized as a 2024 Chicago Defender Women of Excellence honoree, named a 2023 Who’s Who leader in her field, and awarded Professional of the Year in Preventative Medicine and Weight Loss Management. 
With over three decades of experience, her work goes beyond treatment. She is committed to prevention, education, and helping people transform their lives through sustainable, healthy habits. 
After experiencing her work firsthand, I understand the level of care, intention, and expertise she brings to every patient. This is what it looks like when purpose meets passion.
And I get to call this powerhouse, this bombshell, my cousin. I’m so honored that we are family. 💐
Thank you for being a trailblazer, a mentor, and a woman making a lasting impact in our community.
