About Katie Lutz, PA-C:
Katie has been passionate about medicine since she was a child, sharing, “I’ve been interested in a career in healthcare since I was little—I remember pretending to listen to my mom’s heart with a toy stethoscope and putting Band-Aids on everyone! What I enjoy most about medicine is interacting with my patients. When my patients place their trust in me, it reassures me that I’m doing exactly what I’m meant to be doing.”
“I chose Laurel Health because I want to be part of making high-quality healthcare more accessible in rural areas,” Katie adds. “I’m passionate about ensuring my patients have the care they need and are up to date with their wellness screenings and annual exams. I love the variety of family medicine and using my expertise to improve a patient’s health, whether that’s assessing a patient during a wellness exam, suturing a cut, or delivering a joint injection.”
In her free time, she enjoys listening to music, reading, enjoying the outdoors, and spending quality time with her husband, son, and their two dogs.
