Welcome Robert A. Williams, MD, to our Emergency Department
St. Claire Regional is proud to announce the addition of Robert Williams, MD, board-certified emergency medicine physician.
Specializing in rapid recognition and treatment of trauma and acute illness, Williams earned his medical degree at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. He completed an emergency medicine residency at the University of Oklahoma Department of Emergency Medicine.
“Ever since I was a young child, I have had a love for science and helping others," says Williams. " I decided to become a physician, so I would be able to continue to do both. And, in emergency medicine, I found my passion. It’s a constant challenge, one you can never master which makes it a consistent force for me to be better and learn more."
Williams and his wife, Whitney, have a wonderful son named Simon who will celebrate his third birthday in April. Williams says when he is not treating patients, he enjoys spending time with his family, watching the UK Wildcats and playing in a tennis league.

St. Claire Regional is pleased to announce the addition of Erin Smith, PA-C, to Cardiology Services.
Smith, a nationally certified physician assistant, received her medical degree from the University of Kentucky and her bachelor’s degree from Morehead State University. She completed multiple clinical rotations, including five with St. Claire Regional.
Smith says her mother was her inspiration to become a medical provider.
“When I was a small child, my mother was a hospice nurse, and after a very long, hard battle with breast cancer she ended up with hospice nurses of her own. It was overwhelming to see how many lives she touched and changed through her role. At only 10 years old, I knew I wanted to someday work in the healthcare field, hoping to help as many as just one person the way she helped many.”
Born and raised in Eastern Kentucky, Smith says this is where she intends to stay. “Meeting my husband, Neil, and starting our family here, I have fallen more in love with this area and am so excited to be serving the people here.” In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, playing with their baby girl, Lyla, and spending as much time as possible outside with their three dogs.

Practicing Excellence - In honor of National Doctors’ Day, St. Claire Regional (SCR) recognizes our physicians for the compassionate, superior care they provide to the patients who walk through our doors each day. Their service has allowed us to carry on our tradition of providing top-notch care to generation after generation. And, their dedication is evident in the quality of care they provide to our patients year-round, whether it’s day or night.
For centuries, doctors have dedicated their lives to bettering the lives of others. SCR has been blessed with a medical staff that has preserved our focus of compassion and commitment, and we are forever grateful.
