Aleksandra Sliwinska, MD, has joined the endocrinology unit at PeaceHealth Medical Group’s clinics based at the RiverBend Pavilion and University District, with a focus on adrenal and pituitary disease. She earned her doctor of medicine from Jagiellonian University Medical College in Krakow, Poland. She recently completed an endocrinology fellowship at Oregon Health & Science University before joining PeaceHealth. “What brought me to endocrinology was that I like the physical and complex processes that are happening internally,” she said. “Endocrinology is very complex and affects all the systems in our bodies.” She is married and was drawn to Oregon for its natural beauty and the wide array of opportunities to pursue her interests in hiking, mountain biking and skiing.
