Mary Ritter

Mary Ritter is a physician assistant (soon to be called “physician associate”) who has been working in pediatric medicine for over 40 years, the last 34 as the primary medical examiner of child sexual abuse at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center’s Center for Child Protection, and now at the Children’s Advocacy Center. Obviously, it is a job she loves. When she is not at work, she walks and rides her bicycle along the San Francisco Bay near her home (4 miles daily), sings with Soli Deo Gloria, reads for 2 book groups, knits prayer shawls and scarves for the San Francisco Night Ministry, and chairs the Sanctuary Team and the Social Ministry Team at her Lutheran church in San Francisco.
