Francie Ruzic, MD receives 40 Under 40 honor for 2024

Congratulations to one of our very own, Francie Ruzic, M.D., for recently being honored as a member of Mobile Bay Magazine's 40 Under 40 Class of 2024!

Even before she began her medical career, Francie was destined for medical greatness. During medical school, while she participated in research projects and attended medical mission trips abroad, she received the “Clyde G. Huggins Research Award.” In residency, she was awarded the “Resident Research Award” two years in a row. In her first year of practice at Mobile Bay OB-GYN Center, she performed over 150 OB/GYN cases with a patient-centric approach. As a result of her work, she has been invited to join the Medical Association Young Physician Counsel and the Women and Childrens Division Committee.

• Hometown: London, Ontario
• Spouse + children: John; Watts (2)
• Guilty Pleasure: I love mozzarella sticks (Pink Pony in Gulf Shores has the best, in case you were wondering).
• Hidden talents: Poetry. Growing up I memorized a poem a week and when I was 10 one of my own poems was published.
