Dr. Borovina grew up in San Mateo County. While obtaining her undergraduate degree from UC Davis, she worked with California Project LEAN (Leaders Encouraging Activity and Nutrition), a Sacramento-based program of the Public Health Institute which aims to advance nutrition policy in schools and early childcare settings. Thereafter, Dr. Borovina completed medical school and pediatric residency training at UCSF. Inspired by the multi-disciplinary approach of San Francisco General Hospital's Healthy Lifestyles Clinic (HLC), she started an HLC for San Mateo Medical Center in 2005. HLC-SM works with low-income patients and their families to encourage healthy lifestyles; families are also connected to resources such as CalFresh and Second Harvest Food Bank. Dr. Borovina hopes to utilize the Champion Provider Fellowship to create consistent environments in the community that promote healthy lifestyles, insure safe spaces for physical activity, and promote good dietary habits with young children, empowering them to make healthy choices as they continue to grow.
