'I am passionate about my job as an obstetrician/gynecologist. I never get tired of delivering children and witnessing the miracle of life.'
Woodlawn Health announces the addition of Dr. Laurel A. Walton, OB/GYN, who joins the hospital with a shared vision for its Maternity Oasis.
Dr. Walton has an extensive educational background, including an undergraduate degree in biology and chemistry from Nebraska Wesleyan University and a certification in education for grades 7th through 12th. She went to the University of Nebraska in Omaha, Nebraska, to graduate with her Bachelor of Science in Allied Health and became a certified Physician Assistant. Next, she went on to the University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Science (now called DMU) in Des Moines, Idaho. She completed her internship at Warren General Hospital in Warren, Ohio. Her OB/GYN residency was at Texas Tech and Thomas General Hospital.
“I am passionate about my job as an obstetrician/gynecologist. I never get tired of delivering children and witnessing the miracle of life," Walton said. "Daily, I get to help women resolve issues around urine, abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, deal with a miscarriage, and sexual trauma. As an obstetrician/gynecologist, I am involved in everything from genetic counseling to end-of-life care for women.
"The field is extremely diverse and stimulating," she added. "I have the honor of helping women throughout the different stages of their reproductive lives, and this is why I love being an obstetrician/gynecologist. I have an exciting day every day."
She joins a team of four obstetrical providers and five when Dr. Selio returns in the fall.
“We continue to earn the right to care for women in our community through enhancing our care options," Woodlawn COO Brad Rogers said. "We are thrilled to be able to offer GYN services after a brief hiatus. As many maternity care options around us close, we are committed to continuing to serve our community and have built an amazing team with Dr. Walton."
Dr. Walton is accepting new patients. Call 574-223-2020 to make an appointment.
