About Me

Welcome to my page!

My name is Heidi Lewis, I am a first year biology major at The Ohio State University. I am on the pre-medicine track with a goal of becoming a physician. I am a Mount Leadership Society Scholar, and am extremely thankful and excited for the various opportunities that lie on the road ahead. I am a recent graduate of Walsh Jesuit High School in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, where I was a member of the National Honors Society, captain of the Women’s Track and Field and Bowling teams, and an active member in serving the greater Akron community through various service projects.

Before moving to Columbus, I worked at the University Hospitals Portage Medical Center for two years. There, I worked in Nutrition Services and delivered food trays to the patients throughout the day. I had the opportunity to interact with patients on a different level than the healthcare providers, which helped me to further develop my bedside manners and knowledge of patient concerns.

I am passionate about health and fitness, and feel that many serious health issues can be avoided when treated early. Preventive medicine is an excellent way to stop small problems from turning into serious issues, and I believe that I can use my strengths and talents to be a productive member of the healthcare community. I believe that I can use my experiences from my job at UH Portage and personal experiences to provide excellent patient care and keep the patients’ best interests in mind in order to do what is best for their health.

As I start my undergraduate studies at Ohio State, I look forward to the opportunities I will have to learn and grow as a person. This growth will be invaluable once I begin to prepare to become a physician. This page will follow my experiences and will serve as a way to track my progress over time.
