Newman Regional Health recently welcomed a new surgeon to its staff.
Dr. Rebecca Douglass hails from the Lexington, Kentucky area, and says a small-city atmosphere appeals to her.
Douglass also says she received a warm welcome from hospital leadership during her interview process last year.
Douglass has been practicing medicine since 2016. She graduated cum laude from the University of Kentucky and received her doctorate in osteopathic medicine from the University of Pikeville (Kentucky) College of Osteopathic Medicine. She is trained in the use of the da Vinci robotic system, which Newman Regional Health will start using later this year for certain surgical procedures.
