Get to know Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Rebecca A. Brauch, who serves patients in Gallipolis, Ohio.

Dr. Brauch is an Ohio-based outpatient internal medicine physician and inpatient infectious disease specialist, seeing patients at Holzer Gallipolis. As a committed healthcare professional, she takes pride in helping her patients improve their overall quality of life. She also treats mental health conditions and has treated many hepatitis C cases in Ohio with positive outcomes.

Since 1909, Holzer Gallipolis has strived to bring the residents of the Southeast Ohio River Valley a medical center they can not only rely on, but one they can be proud of as well. Today, it is a community-oriented hospital with 266 beds. It is a state-of-the-art medical facility that combines the latest medical technology with good old-fashioned small town caring.

With a passion for the healthcare landscape, Dr. Brauch obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the University of Kentucky, and graduated with her medical degree from the University of Louisville Medical School. She eventually completed her residency in internal medicine at Cleveland Clinic-Akron General Medical Center, before finishing a fellowship in infectious disease at the University of Florida.

Infectious disease is a medical specialty dealing with the prevention, the diagnosis, and the treatment of all infections. An infectious disease specialist’s practice also consists of managing nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections.

Emblematic of her success as a doctor is the Professionalism Award she received during her residency, the high-quality research that has appeared in peer-reviewed publications like the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, and the sterling evaluations she has received from her sizable patient panel.
