John Hawkins, MD
Medical School:University of Chicago
Residency: Contra Costa Family Medicine Residency
Bio: John (he/they) is originally from Salt Lake City, Utah, but has spent most of his adult life in different parts of the Bay Area. He completed his undergraduate degree in Human Biology and Studio Art at Stanford University, after which he worked in stem cell biology research at UCSF. He became interested in caring for people living with HIV as a sexual health counselor and volunteer in needle exchange street outreach, which motivated him to pursue clinical training. He attended medical school at the University of Chicago, where he completed a research year in reproductive health disparities and an Albert Schweitzer Fellowship working with Black & Pink, a grassroots organization supporting the currently and formerly incarcerated LGBTQ+ community. He returned to California for training in full-spectrum family medicine at Contra Costa Family Medicine Residency, a safety net county health system in the East Bay. He is interested in the intersections of HIV medicine, harm reduction, and care for sexual and gender minorities, with a particular focus on substance use, mental health, peri-natal medicine, full spectrum reproductive health, street medicine, procedures, and palliative care. He is excited for the opportunity to train at Kaiser Permanente, with its diverse patient population and particular strengths in evidence-based and integrated care, as well as other safety net sites throughout the Bay Area.
