DECEMBER 2020
JONATHAN L. BAYUK, DO, FAAAAIJonathan L. Bayuk, DO, FAAAAI, is a community allergist practicing in Northhampton, Massachusetts, where he provides evidence-based care to a large number of grateful patients. He is a strong advocate for his patients and especially for the homeless. For the past 15 years, with personal funds, Dr. Bayuk sponsors a campaign to raise money for shelter, winter clothing and food for the homeless. This includes a televised fund matching program resulting in substantial contributions. He also rents a hall to host a Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless, and recruited his 16-year-old son at the age of 4 to first help serve. Regrettably the event could not be held this year.
While serving as President of both the New England Society of Allergy and the Massachusetts Allergy and Asthma Society, he became well-known to state legislators and the governor as a medical expert, enabling him to expand his advocacy efforts on behalf of the public and fellow allergists. Dr. Bayuk provides his colleagues with leadership mentoring and is described as a positive, energetic, and truly tireless advocate for our profession and is a key resource during the COVID-19 crisis. A faculty member at several universities, he teaches medical students and prospective physician assistants. As a clinician, advocate, mentor and educator, Dr. Bayuk is truly a Practice Champion!
