Kenyan American physician becomes president of Minnesota Medical Association

A Kenyan-born doctor has become the 158th president of Minnesota Medical Association (MMA), the first person of color to lead the organization since its founding in 1853. Dr. Edwin Bogonko is a physician with Allina Health in Shakopee and has been a very active member of the MMA since 2010, when he joined the nonprofit professional group that represents physicians, residents, and medical students in the state, said Dan Hauser, the association’s director of communication and education.
