Our Story

Dr. Christina Lucas –Vougiouklakis is the founder and
president of Hellenic Healthcare Professionals of Michigan (HHPM).

She is double board certified in Osteopathic Family Medicine
and Lifestyle Medicine. Christina was driven to connect with
other Hellenic healthcare professionals in Southeast Michigan
after she was approached with the idea to develop a Hellenic
Medical Society. She did extensive research but found no such organizations
for physicians or other Hellenic Healthcare professionals.

She decided to work to unite Philhellene healthcare
professionals and develop a network of meaningful
connections and fellowship through various activities and
platforms.
