Dr. Prafke is Certified in Obstetrics and

Dr. Prafke is involved in medical

the Perinatal Safety and Physician

She is a member of the American Medical
Association, the Florida Medical
Association and the Escambia County
Medical Society. She has served as
a delegate from Escambia County to the
Florida Medical Association. She
enjoys spending time with family and
friends, mystery writing and
participating in outdoor activities,
even if it means fighting the weeds in
her garden. She also enjoys
kayaking, biking and running at least in
part to fight off the 40 something
spread. Look for her at local
running races, 5K through half marathon.
Even after ten years, she is still
grateful to walk on the white sands of
Pensacola Beach instead of shoveling
Chicagoland snow in the winter. "One
of the great things about being a
general OB/Gyn practitioner is the
privilege of caring for women throughout
their lifetimes and providing a wide
range of care in both obstetrics and
gynecology. I enjoy providing care
to women for general gynecologic health
maintenance and family planning, as well
as treating a variety of problems
including abnormal bleeding or abnormal
pap smears, urinary incontinence and
basic infertility evaluation and
treatment. I also have a special
interest in caring for women with high
risk pregnancies." Jill M. Prafke, MD
