UP Health System – Bell Welcomes Elizabeth Tuma, MD, MPH, to Family Medicine

UP Health System - Bell is pleased to welcome Elizabeth Tuma, MD, MPH, to its Family Medicine practice.

Dr. Tuma earned her Doctor of Medicine (MD) from Michigan State University’s College of Human Medicine in Grand Rapids, MI, before completing the Marquette Family Medicine Residency Program at UPHS – Marquette. She also earned a Master of Public Health (MPH) with a focus on Epidemiology from the University of Michigan.

“Getting to know people individually and helping them reach their health goals is part of what I love most about being a physician,” said Dr. Tuma. “I find it especially rewarding to sort through complex medical issues and build connections with patients who have been marginalized in the past.”

Dr. Tuma is an Upper Peninsula native, raised in Marquette. “The UP is my home. I have yet to find anywhere else I’d rather live,” she said. “The strong sense of community and year-round outdoor activities make it a special place. UP Health System – Bell ended up being a perfect fit.”

Outside of work, Dr. Tuma enjoys being outdoors — mountain biking, hiking, backpacking — and spending time with her partner and family.

Dr. Tuma will see patients at the UP Health System – Bell Family Medicine Clinic, Suite 207, located at 901 Lakeshore Drive in Ishpeming, MI. Patients interested in scheduling an appointment should call 906.485.2687 or online.
