Term through December 31, 2024
Dr. Brenda Campos-Spitze, or Doctora Campos as her patients call her, is a Latina family physician in Greeley who works at Sunrise Community Health. She graduated with her Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences with a minor in Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies from the University of California, Davis. She then earned her medical degree at the University of California, Irvine, and her Master’s in Public Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. During medical school she was part of a dual-degree program known as the Program in Medical Education for the Latino Community (PRIME-LC), a five year M.D./Masters program designed to create leaders and physician activists who will work in Latino underserved communities. Attracted by Greeley’s diversity, she and her husband moved to Greeley in 2014 to complete their 3-year family medicine residency training at the Banner North Colorado Family Medicine Residency Training program and subsequently decided to make Greeley their home. She now serves as a school board director for Greeley-Evans School District 6 as well as on the Advisory Board for the UNC College of Osteopathic Medicine that will soon be welcoming its inaugural class in 2026. She is proud to be the daughter of El Salvadoran immigrant parents who gave her the gift of bilingualism and instilled in her strong values of service. She is passionate about providing cultural representation, promoting equity in education, and mentoring pre-health students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds like her own. In her new role on the UNC Board of Trustees she is most excited about ensuring that the new college of medicine attracts a medical student body that reflects the diversity in our region and is working on a D6-UNC pipeline program into the new school. Aside from her work and community involvement, Dr. Campos-Spitze enjoys biking around town with her husband and two young children. She is proud to call Greeley her home.
