Emergency Physician Lisa Lincoln, M.D., Honored with "Unsung Hero" Title by the New York Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians

In the bustling Emergency Department (ED) of Highland Hospital, Dr. Lisa Lincoln, M.D., stands out as a beacon of compassion and dedication. As an Attending Physician in the Department of Emergency Medicine and Associate Professor at the University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry, Dr. Lincoln's role requires a broad knowledge base and the ability to coordinate care among multiple providers.

A Rochester native, Dr. Lincoln's journey in medicine began at SUNY Geneseo, where she earned her undergraduate degree. She then continued her studies at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, graduating with her medical degree in 2009. Her Emergency Medicine residency training was completed at the same institution.

During her residency, Dr. Lincoln was elected as one of the Chief Residents by her peers and the Emergency Medicine faculty, a testament to her leadership skills and commitment to the field. Her work ethic, compassion, and collegiality have not gone unnoticed, as she was recently named a New York State Emergency Medicine Unsung Hero.

The New York State Emergency Medicine Unsung Hero award recognizes individuals who go beyond the basic requirements of being an emergency physician. These unsung heroes are often the backbone of the ED, demonstrating a deep commitment to the mission of the department, their colleagues, and patients.

However, a search of publicly available information does not provide detailed accounts of Dr. Lincoln's specific contributions to Emergency Medicine or her role in receiving the Unsung Hero award. To gain a more comprehensive understanding, it might be necessary to delve into specialty emergency medicine organizations, relevant New York State medical award announcements, or professional emergency medicine societies’ communications.

Despite the lack of detailed information, Dr. Lincoln's colleagues and patients have nothing but praise for her. Dr. Timothy Lum, M.D., FACEP, Chief of Emergency Medicine for Highland Hospital, acknowledges the challenges in the current clinical practice environment in Emergency Medicine. Yet, he highlights Dr. Lincoln's unparalleled humility and her role as a model for patient care within the ED.

Dr. Lincoln's work in the ED reflects her deep commitment to the mission of the department, her colleagues, and patients. She consistently demonstrates kindness, compassion, and dedication to excellent patient care. It is clear that Dr. Lisa Lincoln is not just an unsung hero in the world of Emergency Medicine, but a stalwart who continues to make a significant impact in the lives of her patients and colleagues.
