Getting to know Dr . Lewis Hargett ….
After seeing his brother come back home to practice medicine in rural Georgia , Dr . Hargett was motivated to seek a health care career to help serve patients in underserved communities . Then he chose a medical school , Meharry in Nashville , Tennessee , dedicated to training and providing health care for underserved populations . Dr . Hargett ’ s journey from Meharry to residency / internship at the University of Louisville has enabled him to fulfill his dream of being a physician .
Through the years as a physician , Dr . Hargett ’ s patient focus has always been on personalized medical care , wellness and prevention . He continues to put forth his best efforts to address and improve health equity , health reform and access to quality health care .
Dr . Hargett is also a leader in many professional / medical organizations and boards . These experiences have made him a well-rounded person and well prepared to be a leader for the Greater Louisville Medical Society .
I am so proud of the amazing person my husband has become . He has mastered the art of medical practice : communication ( professionalism and knowledge ), motivation ( effort to render excellent patient care ) and personality ( flexibility , empathy ).
Dr . Hargett truly believes in helping people . His professional motto comes from Hippocrates , “ Wherever the art of Medicine is loved , there is also a love of Humanity .”
