The experiences Dr. Dunlap had as a chief resident prior to joining Regional One Health helped her foster a passion for academic medicine and administration.

“My favorite part about treating patients and their families is making them feel better when they are at their lowest and scariest times of their lives,” Dr. Dunlap said.  “Something as simple as a smile can really change the trajectory of the patient’s day and overall hospital course.”

It is her belief that her mission as a physician is to build trust with patients and families. “It is one of my top priorities and it brings me so much joy at the end of the day,” she said.
