Rachel-Gagen picure

May 1, 2025

After almost eighteen years, Dr. Rachel Gagen is saying goodbye to Hopkins Pediatrics to begin the next chapter in her pediatric career. She has accepted a position at Carilion Clinic where she will teach pediatric residents and students from the Virginia Tech School of Medicine.

While she will be sorely missed by our patients, families, and staff, we wish her all the best as she continues to positively impact those around her, especially future pediatricians and families in our neighboring communities. Best of luck, Dr. Gagen!
