Grinnell Regional Medical Center welcomes Lauren E.
Graham, MD, MPH, to the Grinnell Regional Internal Medicine Clinic. Graham will
begin in mid-August, joining Drs. Ronald Collins and Todd Janicki in the
clinic, located on the second floor of the Ahrens Medical Arts Building.
Graham comes to Grinnell from Johns Hopkins Bayview
Medical Center Internal Medicine residency program, Baltimore, Md., where she
also earned her medical degree. She also completed a master’s degree in public
health from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health while working
on her medical degree. Her undergraduate degree is from Earlham College, in
Richmond, Ind. She replaces Christine Lindgren, DO, who accepted a position at
the Veteran’s Administration’s Hospital in Marshalltown.
Graham grew up in a small Ohio town and is familiar
with Midwestern values and communities. She is looking forward to working with
and knowing patients to manage their health conditions.
“With my training in public health, I’ll strive to
improve the health of the greater service area and build a healthier community,”
Graham says. “Patients can expect me to work with them as a partner on their
path to restore health. I want to empower people to take care of their health.”
Graham comes from a service-oriented family and has
always enjoyed the combination of using science to help people. She chose an
internal medicine specialty to allow her the opportunity to get to know people
and address complex adult health conditions.
“I’m excited to be practicing in the Midwest after
working in Baltimore. I wanted to be part of a vibrant small community
providing comprehensive compassionate care to all adults in all sectors,”
Graham says. “The practice where I worked at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical
Center was very big. I cared for many very ill patients and experienced a broad
caseload with difficult conditions. I’m
looking forward to putting that knowledge in work here in Grinnell.”
“We’re extremely pleased to have Dr. Graham join our
internal medicine team for adult specialty medical care. Her training at Johns
Hopkins and her warm, compassionate personality will work well with our medical
staff and will be appreciated by our patients,” says Todd C. Linden, CEO and
president of GRMC. “Her public health training and commitment to patient health
makes her an excellent fit as we look at the future of healthcare.”
Graham moved to Grinnell in July to join her husband,
Andrew Graham, who is a professor in the Grinnell College chemistry department.
When not busy with her practice, Graham likes to travel, bake, and write
poetry.
