William Ahrenholz, PA
William Ahrenholz is a devoted Physician Assistant at Lawndale Christian Health Center. He initially learned of LCHC through his connections to our long-standing providers Lisa Werner and Bill Bush. He earned his PA from Marquette University. William's motivation to pursue a medical career stems from a love for both biology and caring for others. William expressed, "Medicine seems like a natural marriage of those two passions.” He listens attentively to patients, creating a space where they feel valued and heard. Aligned with Lawndale's mission, he supports and cares for patients, notably in the substance use disorder clinic, witnessing transformation and healing.
He says, "I aim to journey alongside my patients, guiding them towards wellness in a way that suits their preferences and needs. I assure them of my support throughout their entire journey."
