Portrait of Lisa M. Rush

Lisa M. Rush

"Children captured my heart at a very early age - the innocence, love for life, blunt humor, and resilience of each child is truly humbling. As pediatricians, we have the unique opportunity to not only care for our patients, but we also impact the entire family unit. It is a true privilege and honor to be a special part of a developing child’s life and I treasure each experience they share with me.” 
- Dr. Rush
