Dr. Amy Wolfe is originally from New York City. She moved to New Orleans in 2006 to volunteer with a free clinic after Hurricane Katrina and fell in love with both the city and the work of lowering barriers to healthcare. She worked as an ER tech and a free clinic health educator before attending LSU School of Medicine in 2012, then moved to Miami to train at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics residency in 2016. She returned to New Orleans and LSU for Pulmonology and Critical Care Fellowship, becoming an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the section of Pulmonology and Critical Care at LSUHSC in 2023.  

 

Her clinical and research interests include addressing racial health disparities in both pulmonology and critical care, tuberculosis and post-tuberculosis lung disease, nontuberculous mycobacterial disease and bronchiectasis, harm reduction and preventive medicine, and reducing barriers to care for vulnerable populations.
