🌟 Today’s is a special ! 🌟
Meet Dr. Bhullar and Dr. Souza, our very own husband and wife team in the Emergency Department. 🩺❤️
Dr. Bhullar and Dr. Souza both grew up in South Florida, but their paths didn’t cross until they were training in Emergency Medicine at UCLA in Los Angeles. Dr. Bhullar studied Communication Sciences and Disorders at Northwestern University, earned a Master’s in Medical Sciences at Boston University, and went on to obtain her medical degree at FIU in Miami. Dr. Souza studied Exercise Sciences at Florida State University before earning his medical degree from NYU. They became best friends during Emergency Medicine residency long before becoming husband and wife.
Both were drawn to medicine through a passion for human connection. They believe that every person you meet is a teacher, and the emergency department offers the privilege of learning from, and helping, people from every walk of life.
Outside the hospital, they thrive on adventure. They enjoy hiking, reading, fitness, and travel. In fact, when they first began working at Willapa Harbor Hospital, they were midway through a two-year global journey, splitting their time between ER shifts in the U.S. and living abroad. Their travels took them to 24 countries, where they trekked the Himalayas, camped beside erupting volcanoes in Guatemala, cage-dived with sharks in South Africa, and experienced countless moments that deepened their love for both people and the planet.
Today, their greatest joy is sharing life’s adventures with their young daughter. Together, they remain passionate not only about treating disease but also about reimagining wellness, living in alignment with how the human body was designed to thrive.
