Patricia chose to work at OSF HealthCare because it is a large organization that has many resources for her staff and patients. The community she serves is also very welcoming and caring.   

“During an appointment, I always listen and take the time to explain everything,” she said. “I also want the patient to know that I’m available for a phone call with follow-up questions, if needed.”

Patricia chose family medicine as her specialty because she enjoys watching families grow and being there for them in times of change. Following up with patients and sharing their life triumphs and heartbreaks is important to her.

She grew up in La Moille, Illinois. She is married and has two children and three stepchildren.  In her free time, Patricia plays volleyball and enjoys volunteering and helping at community activities.
