Genevieve Stubbs, PA-C, is a certified physician assistant specializing in caring for children with ear, nose and throat issues. She approaches patient care with empathy and support. "Working as a team with patients and their family is the best way to provide quality, family-centered care," says Genevieve. She discovered the joy of working with children as a medical assistant in a pediatric office. Now, as a physician assistant, Genevieve says she is "inspired by the resiliency of children and their ability to find good in what can be a difficult time. "After spending much of her training in children's hospitals, Genevieve knew she wanted to spend her career working in one. "The attitude and positivity of people working to help children and their families are remarkable and contagious," she says. She found that atmosphere at Phoenix Children's. Genevieve feels lucky to carry out the hospital's child- and family-focused mission. She was happy to trade her native Michigan's winters for sunny Arizona since it gives her more opportunity to enjoy being outdoors with her dog, Rocky, and hiking. She also likes spending time reading and skiing.
