McGrath welcomes Dr. Miller

In September, the McGrath Health and Wellness Center will welcome a new, full-time doctor to their staff, Dr. Kim Miller. Miller was selected through a national search and competitive process for the position. Two finalists were brought onto Xavier's campus for two half-days during which they met with the selection committee, gave a presentation, attended an open forum and interviewed with a variety of people including Dr. Kathleen Simons and the staff of McGrath. According to Simons, the committee

was looking for a doctor who specialized in internal medicine or was a family physician and would be broadly trained and able to cover a wide variety of situations. Miller attended Brown University from 1978 to 1980 where she studied anthropology and psychology. She received her Bachelor of Arts cum laude from Harvard University in Extensions Studies with a concentration in the social studies and her Doctor of Medicine from the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Miller has worked for a variety

of employers including the Ohio Heart Health Center and Lisa Larkin MD & Associates and received training at St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City and at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Boston, Mass.

"She has incredible credentials," Simons said. Miller will run both the morning and afternoon clinics  and fill-in doctors are lined up for days when Miller is absent. She worked with Health Services in Aug. in order to become acquainted with the campus and she will begin full-time work on Sept. 1.
