About Lynne Scanlan, DO: 

Dr. Scanlan was drawn to rural medicine as the perfect way to combine her love of science, close community, and calling to help others.

“I've always had a deep desire to help people, and paired with my love for science, I found medicine let me combine them for a deeply rewarding and purposeful life,” she shares. “I grew up in a small town in PA and love the close community it brings. I wanted to return to the area to work in rural medicine where everyone is your neighbor and supports each other.”

Prior to joining Laurel Health, she worked in family medicine with St. David’s Care Now, Lone Star Circle of Care, and Baylor Scott & White Health. She has also volunteered with medical missions around the world to deliver needed medical care to rural communities.

“Medicine is a continual learning process; there is always some new discovery that we can apply to improve people's health and quality of life,” Dr. Scanlan adds. “What I love about family medicine in particular, and the reason I chose this challenging area of practice, is that it treats the full scope of health and wellness in patients of all ages.”

In her free time, she enjoys swimming, cross-country skiing, sledding, biking, and hiking with her labradoodle Chloe.
