Who We Are

Dr. Laurel Gamm (right) is trained in family medicine and has worked as both a family medicine primary care doctor and more recently in the emergency department in rural Minnesota (New Ulm). She is a long-time PNHP member and has been involved in the single-payer movement in MN since the early 1990s. She has been an active member of our chapter and has done extensive public speaking on single payer. Starting this fall, Laurel is making a career change and has taken a job with Health Care for the Homeless in St. Paul. She will be splitting her time between New Ulm and St. Paul.

Dr. Inge De Becker was born in Belgium. She trained there as a pediatric ophthalmologist, and then practiced for the next 25 years in Canada. She came to the US about 5 years ago, and she has been practicing at the U of MN in the pediatric ophthalmology department. Inge's personal experience working in and out of a single-payer system will prove invaluable in her new role. As she says, being a doctor and a patient in our system makes her repeatedly, "just shake my head". She has been a member of PNHP-MN for several years now.
