CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Adventist Health Clear Lake has welcomed more than a dozen new providers in 2019, and the latest is board-certified internal medicine physician Catherine Atup-Leavitt.

Dr. Atup-Leavitt is a mission-minded physician who has dedicated herself to caring for the health care needs of her patients.

She has practiced adult internal medicine for more than 20 years and has a special interest in helping patients with complex health needs.

“I am driven by working with my patients to solve the puzzle of their health concerns,” Dr. Atup-Leavitt said. “I enjoy working with a collaborative team of physicians and specialists to ensure patients receive the highest-quality healthcare that is focused on their personal goals.”

A graduate of the Cebu Institute of Medicine in the Philippines, Dr. Atup-Leavitt went on to complete an internship and residency in internal medicine at Rush-Westlake Hospital in Melrose Park, Illinois. While there, she spent a year as chief resident.

“Dr. Atup-Leavitt is a welcome addition to our team and a great fit for the Lake County community,” says Brent Dupper, executive director of physician and outpatient services for Adventist Health Clear Lake. “She brings a personable and dedicated approach to healthcare and strives for the best possible patient outcomes.”

Dr. Atup-Leavitt and her husband relocated to Lake County from Idaho with their two sons. She chose to join the Adventist Health Clear Lake team to be closer to family.
