Cheryl McDonald, MD, TSM President
As President of the Texas Society of Medicine, Cheryl McDonald, MD, brings a deep appreciation for the values that have defined the Society for more than a century: lifelong learning, meaningful relationships, and a commitment to excellence in medicine.
A Fort Worth native and infectious disease specialist, Dr. McDonald has spent her career caring for patients, mentoring colleagues, and serving her community. Her professional journey has taken her from Vanderbilt University and UT Southwestern Medical School to leadership roles in medicine, healthcare, and HIV advocacy. Along the way, she has earned the respect of peers throughout Texas and has been recognized repeatedly among Fort Worth's top physicians.
A longtime TSM member, Dr. McDonald values the unique connections that develop when physicians come together not only to learn, but to share experiences, ideas, and friendships that endure throughout their careers. Together with her husband, fellow TSM member Kevin Connelly, MD, she has enjoyed many years of involvement in the Society and the camaraderie that makes it so special.
When she is not caring for patients, Cheryl enjoys traveling, reading, and spending time with family...interests that reflect the same curiosity, balance, and sense of community she brings to her leadership of TSM.
