Milwaukee, This is Your Front Line: Valerie Carter, MD

“Hello! I am a relatively recent graduate from the Brown residency program and am now a hospitalist in Internal Medicine here at Froedtert. The COVID-19 virus has brought unprecedented challenges to all of us in the medical profession. These circumstances have shown me that, the harder the environment, the more important are the people you're with. I am lucky to work with a team of nurses, APPs, hospitalists and consultants who inspire me daily with their excellence and dedication. I also can't help but be humbled when people I've never met let me be a part of something to make their lives a little better. While it is rare to do in these times, it is important to seek out moments of self care. My passion is running and despite everything, I still try to get in my daily runs! I've also managed to pick up my crochet hook to finish the scarf I started last June. Haha. Remember to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, stay home, but also to smile more, dance more, and enjoy that scoop of ice cream from the Patio cafe!”
