EMILY LEE

Emily has been a nurse practitioner for 20 years, having worked in a variety of settings, including primary care, urgent care, nursing homes and hospitals. She became drawn to addiction medicine after a family friend unexpectedly died from an overdose. She learned about buprenorphine treatment and knew she had to be involved in treating people with addiction, not only for her calling as a healthcare professional, but also for the sake of her friend who never got the chance to be on treatment.
