Check out the Q & A session below to learn more about Dr. Spurgeon. ### Where did you grow up? I grew up in Brownstown, Indiana. In high school, I played volleyball and basketball, was class president, and in the National Honor Society...I did a lot of everything! I continued to play volleyball at Georgetown College, was active in many service organizations, and served as a youth minister at a local church. ### Please tell us about your family. I married Todd Spurgeon, also from Brownstown. We have two sons, Justin and Will. Most of our extended family lives in Jackson County. ### What hobbies do you enjoy? My husband and I run together. We love to run races in different places. We’ve particularly enjoyed running several races in Disney World! I also like to read and play the piano. My favorite thing is to spend time with my family. ### When did you know you wanted to be a physician? I decided my junior year in college to attend medical school. I felt that pursuing medicine would allow me to do a lot of things I really enjoyed. ### What do you like most about practicing medicine? I get the opportunity to help people in some of the hardest times of their lives. The human spirit is resilient. My job is to tap into that spirit and help people find their way through their life struggles. It is a humbling experience. However, when people get better, it is equally amazing to watch who and what they are able to become. ### What is one of your favorite patient stories? Thus far in my career, I have taken care of many pregnant and post partum women. I love that I get to share in my patient’s joy of a new baby in the family. A lot of my patients bring their babies in for me to meet. It is wonderful to know I have helped mom and baby get a better start in life. ### What attracted you to Schneck? I am aware of what this community has done for my life. Several people went out of their way to encourage and help me become who I am today. It is an honor to come back and try to help take care of the community that has taken such good care of me. ## Related Conditions & Treatments Schneck Medical Center offers specialty care through a number of physician practices in Jennings, Jackson, Scott and Washington counties in Southern Indiana.
