She completed her Pediatrics Residency at the University of Chicago and holds board certification through the American Board of Pediatrics.

Dr. Weems holds hospital privileges at Northwestern Medicine Prentice Women's Hospital, Northshore's Evanston Hospital, and Advocate Hospitals. Families delivering at those hospitals can expect her to visit every day their child remains in-patient. She maintains close relationships with specialists and hospitalists across greater Chicagoland. Her belief in home-based care runs deep, shaped in part by her grandfather Bliss Weems, the town doctor of Waynesboro, Virginia, who treated patients as whole people within their communities.
