Staff

Meet our staff……

Kids Health Partners takes pride in the service we provide our patients, and our staff who provide that service.

• Dr. Mary Hall

  

  Dr. Mary Hall graduated from Washington University Medical School in St. Louis in 1992 and completed residency training at St. Louis Children’s Hospital and University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. She grew up in the Chicago area, and returned here with her family in 1998. She loves the variety of general pediatrics, and the long relationships built with families as their children grow. She has special interests in developmental and behavioral issues, and in the management of asthma and allergies. She has a wonderful, supportive husband who is also a physician, and four daughters who keep life fun interesting and very busy.

• Dr. James Olson

  

  Dr. Jim Olson graduated from Northwestern University Medical School in 1988, and completed his residency in Pediatrics at Children’s Memorial Hospital in 1991. He worked in inner-city Chicago for the first twelve years of his career, subsequently moving to the suburbs to become a “hometown” pediatrician. Dr. Olson particularly enjoys helping parents negotiate the challenges of raising a child in these changing times. His medical interests include managing asthma and allergies, and working with athletes. His wonderful wife Lisa manages the office, and his two teenage sons continue to teach him new life lessons. He is exceedingly proud of his cool watch collection, which he hopes is one of the highlights of every visit here.

• Lisa O.
