"Karen West"Bio:
Dr. Karen West became the first female surgeon at Riley at IU Health 31 years ago. “It was a different time,” Dr. West said. “I was one of the first few women who had even completed the general surgery residency.” She explained that after her residency, she completed a pediatric surgery fellowship at the hospital, which allowed her to gain the trust and respect of nurses and physicians. “By the time I became Riley’s first practicing female surgeon, I truly felt like part of the team.”
