Dr. Alice Cohen knew as a child that a career in medicine would define her future. Born in Illinois to an Air Force Officer, she enjoyed an unconventional childhood living in Europe and throughout the United States.

Graduating with honors from Wichita State University, she earned her medical degree from the University of Health Sciences, Kansas City, MO. It was in medical school that she met her husband, Dr. Randy Cohen. Following a three year Family Practice Residency at Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn, MI, she attained her board certification and worked as an emergency room physician. She actively practiced family medicine in Lancaster County for twelve years, including a three-year teaching appointment for family practice residents.
