Dr. McHugh is board certified in Internal Medicine-Cardiovascular Disease. After earning her medical and graduate degrees from Vanderbilt University College of Medicine, she received additional training through residency in Internal Medicine at Johns Hopkins University and fellowship in Cardiology at Emory University. She then completed an additional fellowship in Electrophysiology at Vanderbilt University. She loves caring for the Lynchburg community because it is immensely gratifying and a tremendous honor to contribute to improving the health of such a friendly, welcoming, and kind group of people that make up this community. When she is not providing care at the Heart and Vascular Institute, she likes to spend her time outdoors, preferably hiking, or building something useful with her new wood-working tools.
