Coming from a family of medical professionals, today’s #PeopleofChildrens feature was destined to be! Meet Dr. Ian Hovis, one of our rock star #cardiologists! ❤️Growing up, Dr. Hovis always knew he wanted to be in the medical field with his mom working as a pediatric cardiology nurse and his dad a pharmacist. His grandparents were medical professionals, too! “I was always interested in science, but when I went to college I had the opportunity to open my mind and explore other ways of thinking.” Dr. Hovis double majored in national science and film during his undergraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin. “That was a fun opportunity to explore how an artist approaches a problem versus a scientist.” After completing his residency at Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, Dr. Hovis came to Children’s National for a cardiology fellowship and is now an attending doctor. 🏥His favorite part about his job is the patients he gets to treat. “The diversity really drew me to Children’s because not only do we get to treat the children in the area but children from all over the world, while still being at a top hospital” ❤️Thanks for all you are doing for our patients, Dr. Hovis. You rock!#PeopleofChildrens #heartsatchildrens #HeartMonth #cardiology #pediatrics #kidshealth #hearthealth #ff #FeelGoodFriday
