Whether she’s helping families access resources, collaborating with care teams to meet unique needs or ensuring patients receive care that honors their whole story, advocacy is central to Dr. Peterson-Carmichael's approach as a physician.
We’re incredibly grateful for caregivers like Dr. Peterson-Carmichael, who provide more than just clinical support for our patients and their families. Her dedication to families reminds us that healing can take many forms—and that compassion makes all the difference.❤️
