Leading For Positive Change: Patient-Centered Care, Hope, & Challenging The Status Quo Interview W/ Dr. Dalila Lewis, Div. Chief Of Pediatric Neurology, Musc Children’s Hospital

Dr. Dalila Lewis has been blazing a trail of positivity, change, and hope since joining the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital as Division Chief of Pediatric Neurology.

When she took the lead at MUSC in August 2020, patients were facing 8-9 month long waits to see a provider, often meeting a new doctor at each appointment due to the medical team’s high-turnover and lack of staff.
