About
Dr. Lauren Heagy grew up in Ellicott City, Maryland, with a clear sense of purpose. She wanted to become a physician who truly knew her patients, someone who listened, cared deeply, and walked alongside people through every stage of life. She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland, College Park, and her medical degree from the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Her residency training took place at the York Hospital Family Medicine Program in Pennsylvania.
Since 2015, Dr. Heagy has built lasting relationships with families throughout Southern York County. She chose family medicine in medical school as the specialty that matched the kind of care she always believed in. Her clinical focus spans preventive care, chronic disease management, acute illness, acute injuries, and procedures including skin biopsies and pap smears. Outside the exam room, she spends time with her husband and three children, reads, hosts family game nights, and volunteers in the community. She has taught suturing skills to Girl Scouts, a reflection of her belief that strong connections matter beyond medicine.
