Over her 15 years as a family physician, she continued to feel drawn to the mission. Now, she works as a Family Physician at the Archer Heights clinic. Throughout her life, Dr. Williams has desired to serve people, and she believes that God called her to be in medicine. She has loved being at LCHC where her values of loving God and loving people are incorporated into every part of her day. "Being a physician is such a unique role. It is a privilege to have patients share with me -- sometimes very deep and personal things -- and to be able to listen and offer them hope," Dr. Williams shares. She believes that a person's spirit is just as important as their body. She is passionate about helping people toward holistic solutions for their physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. Dr. Williams works with her patients on preventing future illnesses by implementing healthy habits. Dr. Williams says, "I like to collaborate with patients and partner with them in what they are trying to accomplish. I am excited about the many resources available at Lawndale that support patients' health. I'm excited to meet my patients where they are at and work together on a plan!" Want to join our team?
