Maggie Baker, MD

Hello! My name is Marjorie (Maggie) Baker, and I am originally from Southeastern Iowa, a little over an hour south of Iowa City! I grew up on a small farm with my younger brother and spent a lot of my childhood rodeoing all over the Midwest with my family! I participated in a multitude of sports, music, drama, 4-H, FFA, and community activities growing up. I attended the University of Iowa for undergrad, so I am a huge Hawkeye fan! I attended the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford for medical school, and graduated from the Rural Medicine Education Program. I met my husband there!

I chose family medicine because I love caring for the whole family and promoting preventative care and health education measures. I am excited to be on a journey learning full-scope family medicine. CoxHealth Family Medicine Residency offers a great location for immersive learning and training as well as caring staff.

In my spare time, I enjoy getting out in nature with my husband and our rescue dog, Major. I love watching football in the fall and traveling anywhere warm whenever I can. I also enjoy cooking, baking, spending time with friends and family, and finding the best dinner, breakfast, and ice cream for dessert!
