​Lily Morrison, MD, MPH

​The University of Queensland Ochsner Clinical School. Lily was born and raised in Santa Cruz, CA, and earned a BS in Psychobiology from UCLA. After college, she became an EMT and a medical assistant. Due to these experiences, she became passionate about health equity and moved to Scotland to pursue a Master of Public Health degree at the University of Edinburgh. She focused her studies on quantitative epidemiology, wrote a master’s thesis on racial inequities in pancreatic cancer incidence, and travelled whenever she could. 

​Lily then worked as a researcher at UCSF and Stanford, studying cancer inequities among vulnerable populations. During this time, she volunteered at the San Francisco Free Clinic, which reignited her passion for clinical medicine and working directly with underserved patients. She attended the UQ-Ochsner Clinical School for medical school and spent the first two years in Queensland, Australia. Her clinical years were spent in New Orleans, where she also taught reproductive health to middle school students, led community clean-up events, and ate a lot of excellent food.  Lily is passionate about improving access to primary care and is particularly interested in women’s health, preventive medicine, and palliative care. Lily is an avid reader, overly competitive board game player, and average boogie boarder. In her free time, you will find Lily out in nature with her partner Matt and her baby Finley, or at home cuddled with her geriatric rescue cat Luna.
