Lauren H.

Physician Assistant @ Stanford Health Care

About

I am a Physician Assistant with eight years of specialized experience in urology, working across outpatient clinics and high-volume operating room settings. I am committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate care, and I have had the privilege of collaborating with many renowned surgeons while supporting a wide range of complex urological cases.Beyond direct patient care, I'm passionate about improving how healthcare systems function. I focus on identifying inefficiencies, streamlining workflows, and enhancing access to care. I am also interested in how emerging technologies, including AI, can support clinicians, improve patient experience, and reduce barriers in the healthcare system. I’m energized by roles that allow me to combine clinical expertise with systems thinking, program development, and medical innovation.
