Medical Director, Mountain States Neonatology and St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center Newborn Intensive Care Unit

Dr. Lawrence attended college at Wesleyan University of Middletown, Connecticut where he received a B.A. in Biology, followed an M.D. from Mt. Sinai School of Medicine. He trained as a pediatric intern and resident at Duke University Medical Center and completed a 3-year fellowship in neonatal-perinatal medicine at University of Texas-Southwestern Medical Center, where he engaged in developmental biology research, culminating in publications in Pediatric Research.

Dr. Lawrence is boarded in Pediatrics and Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine and has served in many leadership positions, including, most recently, Physician Leader of the Integrated Delivery Council and Director of Telemedicine at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center. Dr. Lawrence’s experience in telemedicine, in conjunction with his participation in a proposed video conferencing initiative as a project toward his recent completion of an Executive M.B.A. at Boise State University, has been the source of his interest in Conex.
