Dr. Lisa Eiland, MD

As a neonatologist, my primary responsibility is caring for critically ill infants and their families. Throughout my career, I have worked to diminish the stress that patients and families experience during a NICU stay. A cornerstone of my efforts is family engagement, building a partnership to achieve optimal health and ensure patients meet their greatest potential. As a clinical leader, I am responsible for ensuring that our division’s clinical programs help achieve these goals. Beyond the NICU stay, community support is important to the health and well-being of our patients. I am proud to be a community advocate for NICU families. 

I serve in leadership roles in the American Academy of Pediatrics, as well as, Baby Friendly USA.  In these roles, I advocate for legislation, policy, and clinical guidelines that promote the mission of attaining optimal physical, mental, and social health and well-being for all infants, children, adolescents and young adults.
