Dr. Lauren Bridges wants all patients to know that an appointment with her includes a well-child exam, prevention counseling, problem-solving and a smile.
"I got into medicine after years of volunteering for a childhood cancer summer camp with the American Cancer Society," she said. "The resilience and innocence that I saw in those very sick patients motivated me to want to help them. I love how children can persevere in sick times and continuously be optimistic."
Dr. Bridges also looked for a facility that uses provider-team relationships and technology for the best patient care. And that's why she came to work for OSF HealthCare.
Dr. Bridges specializes in sports medicine, outdoor medicine, physical exercise, childhood diabetes and obesity and counseling.
