healthcare system, announced today that four new physicians—Megan
Gillem, D.O.; Rachel Huston, D.O.; Anna Lavedan, M.D.; and Sameer
Singh, M.D.—have joined USMD Affiliated Services. These new
physicians have been added to support the expanding healthcare
needs of the communities and patients USMD serves.
“I am pleased to welcome these four physicians to USMD,” said
John House, M.D., chairman and chief executive officer of USMD
