Lisa's choice to work for OSF HealthCare reflects her commitment to being part of a community she values. She is happy to serve patients in a small community and finds a sense of home in familiar surroundings.

During appointments, Lisa emphasizes compassion, ensuring patients actively contribute to their care plans. Beginning her healthcare career as a paramedic, her nursing journey was driven by a desire for a higher level of care, leading to bachelor's and master's degrees. Family medicine aligns with her passion for caring for people of all ages.

Raised in Gillespie, Illinois, Lisa and her husband, residents of a small farm, enjoy family time and outdoor activities. Caring for animals is not just a hobby; it extends to volunteering at nursing homes with her miniature horse, and spreading smiles through animal-assisted activities.
