Dr. Hillary Sensabaugh is originally from Midlothian, VA. She completed her pharmacy education at the Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy at Shenandoah University in Winchester, VA. Since her freshman year of high school, she knew she wanted to be a pharmacist. Her mom’s friend introduced her to the field, and it has been history ever since! While in her fourth year of school on rotations, she had an awesome experience with the inpatient psychiatry pharmacist at the Martinsburg VAMC. Hillary feels valued as a resident at the VA and enjoys giving back to those that have served our country. In the future, she is looking to pursue a VA career in ambulatory care or psychiatry/SUD, with hopes of becoming board certified.

Dr. Lindsay Williams earned her Doctorate of Pharmacy from West Virginia University. She has wanted to pursue a career in healthcare for as long as she can remember. Dr. Williams chose pharmacy because she loves building connections with her patients and helping them manage their medications. She decided to pursue a residency at the VA because of the degree of autonomy VA pharmacists have to make clinical decisions regarding patient care. As well as the opportunity to care for our nation’s veterans. Her professional interests include ambulatory care, academia, and cardiology. In her free time, she likes to travel, spend time with friends and family, and bake.
