Harry F. Laws, MD
Professional Designation(s)/Title:
MD
How long have you been a member of SPUC?
New member this year
Why did you choose the Pediatric Urgent Care field?
I am going into the autumn of my career and it seemed like a good way to serve our children and families
Please list a few of your most recent accomplishments:
A 29 year Air Force veteran with experience as a general pediatrician, hospital CEO, and a tour at the Pentagon while in the Air force, after retiring from the service, I gained experience as a Medical Director in a pharmaceutical company, Chief of outpatient pediatrics at Children’s Hospital of Buffalo, Medical Director of a 200 physician group practice, Chief medical information officer of a 5 hospital network and a brief stint at consulting. Then after 4 years of locums practice in mostly rural clinics, I settled into helping out Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin’s Urgent Care Department as a part time provider for the past two years.
Why did you join SPUC?
I find it an honor and privilege to help families with their child’s acute issues. To do so at this point in my career is rewarding, but there remains much to learn. Joining the group that specializes in this type of care is only logical.
