Peter G. Lund, MD

Our clinic is a residency training clinic, therefore staff physicians co-manage patients with resident physicians and do not have a separate private practice.

Hometown: Cottage Grove

Best part of my work or a patient visit: Seeing my patients overcome physical, emotional, and social barriers as they achieve health stability. Laughing with my patients.

Why I became a physician/provider: I have always worked with people who have medical challenges. After years of leading wilderness adventures with clients who often had profound disabilities, I wanted to understand more about staying healthy in the setting of chronic illness.

What I tell friends and family: Move you body every day (even in the winter). You do not need a health club to get healthy. Start walking.

How I spend my free time: Playing with my kids, bicycling, running, movies.

What patients say about me: I always go the extra mile for my patients.

I enjoy caring for patients as part of a care team that includes internal medicine resident physicians, social workers and nurses. I focus on helping patients to manage their chronic illnesses. I see patients as part of a care team with resident physicians in both the hospital and the clinic.

I have a special interest in caring for patients with limited financial resources.
