Amy Haupert came to us from the Great White North of Minnesota. She cheerfully withstood our long, hot summers, but could not resist the call of the North. She is back in her home territory, spreading sunshine and treating patients in private practice.

Linda Lash, MD

Linda Jean Lash is a Pittsburg native. As a non-traditional resident, it would be hard to characterize her pre-residency life. Suffice it to say she went to college, worked, had a family and at an age she should have known better, decided to go to medical school at the urging of her friend (and our former chairman) Frank deGruy. She attended the University of South Alabama College of Medicine where she was awarded an accelerated residency in our department. Her third year she served as co-chief resident. Since graduating she has gone to practice in Grand Bay, Alabama (Watermelon capital of the World).

Angela Jones, MD

Angela Jones has opened a private practice with her co-graduate, Mike Merrill. But in addition to that, she has agreed to stay on as adjunct part-time faculty here in our clinic as we work through some growing pains.

Nicole Lawson, MD

Nicole Lawson knew she would be going back to Arkansas to practice in a rural community, and that is exactly what she did. She gained more than great doctoring experience here in Mobile. She made life long friends, found a great guy and got a beautiful dog. They all live happily in Nicole's hometown where she has gone into private practice serving the same community that served her for so many years.
