Lisa Hirsch, MD

Lisa Hirsch, MD, has a very special connection to Good Samaritan Hospital: She was born there. So, when Hirsch, who now works at the hospital practicing internal medicine, was asked to run in the TCS New York City Marathon in support of Good Samaritan Hospital, she did not hesitate to tackle the challenge.

Lisa comes from a long line of runners. Both her mother and father completed the TCS New York City Marathon together. And now that she’s started running, her son has started training too.

Although Hirsch ran in medical school, she recently resumed running to stay fit, and this will be her first marathon. The Manhattan resident started working at Good Samaritan Hospital three years ago.

Hirsch said she would be running on behalf of hospital patients and programs.

“I’m fundraising to support the wonderful WMCHealth programs that are so beneficial to our patients,” she said.
