Today, the City of Fresno proudly proclaimed September 3, 2026, as Dr. Katherine Flores Day, honoring her lifelong dedication to the health, education, and well-being of our community.
Dr. Flores began her medical journey at Stanford University and has spent decades making a lasting impact on the Central Valley. Among her many accomplishments, she served as Assistant Dean of the UCSF Fresno Medical Education Program, established the Doctors Academy and Junior Doctors Academy, and served as an Associate Clinical Professor at UCSF Fresno.
After retiring earlier this year, Dr. Flores humbly accepted this recognition — reminding us that behind every accomplishment is a team. She shared her gratitude for her husband and the incredible people who stood beside her, worked alongside her, and helped make her vision a reality.
Fresno is a better community because of Dr. Flores’s leadership, compassion, and commitment to the next generation of healthcare professionals. Congratulations, Dr. Flores, and thank you for a lifetime of service to our community!
