Bracken Lewis, MD,
began his
career as a doctor early. He was
a doctor in his preschool play
and always knew it was what he
wanted to do when he grew up.
Dr. Lewis also knew that
he wanted to come back to
Greenville after medical school
to practice medicine.
“If you’re going to take care of
people, it’s most rewarding to
take care of the people that you
know,” Dr. Lewis said.
Reflecting on the years he’s
been practicing, he said it’s
a career that holds a lot of
meaning for him.
“Taking care of people is the
best part of my job,” Dr. Lewis
continued. “It means a lot to be
trusted to help people. People
come to me when they are sick.
What more intimate relationship
could you possibly have with a
total stranger? They’re bringing
their daughter or their mother or
their father or themselves, saying:
‘I’m sick. Help me.’ I really value
their trust in me to be able to
take care of them.”
While “Dr. Lewis” takes care of
patients, “Bracken” is a die-hard
football fan in his spare time.
He went to nearly every football
game during his time at the
University of Kentucky.
“When you have a basketball
team with a tradition like
Kentucky, it’s hard not to make
basketball my second-favorite
sport to watch,” he said.
His collection of sports
memorabilia offers plenty
of bonding opportunities
with his patients, many of
whom also bleed University
of Kentucky blue.
Bracken Lewis, MD,
is an internal medicine
physician, caring for adult
patients 18 and older. He
and his wife, Lynette, live
in Greenville. He practices
at Owensboro Health’s
One Health Internal
Medicine Greenville.
