Growing up in rural western Wisconsin, Dr. Taylor Caldwell (she/her) spent the majority of her formative years eating cheese curds, listening to angsty indie music, biking country roads, wondering why the world turned out this way, nurturing her love of science, and escaping into the forest.
After relocating to La Crosse, Wisconsin, for undergrad and initially choosing a major in biochemistry, Dr. Caldwell promptly traded her love of molecules for her newfound love of grand-scale social analysis and earned a Bachelor of Science in Sociology. It was during this time she found herself deeply immersed in volunteer work with unhoused populations in southwestern Wisconsin through the La Crosse Area Warming Center.
Continuing into medical school at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Dr. Caldwell continued to dedicate her training to underserved communities while participating in the Wisconsin Academy for Rural Medicine (WARM). Her passion for women’s health led to co-leading a chapter of Medical Students for Choice and, in her last year, completing a public health project to expand middle school sexual education curricula in rural Clark County, Wisconsin.
Dr. Caldwell recently completed her residency in the Swedish Cherry Hill Family Medicine Rural Training Program. She’s excited to join NOHN and build upon her experiences with marginalized populations to improve the health of vulnerable communities, especially in rural areas.
When she isn’t dreaming about intergenerational affordable housing, sustainable agriculture, or universal healthcare, Dr. Caldwell can be found cuddling her cat, eating ramen, backpacking, swimming in rivers, thrifting, re-reading the Game of Thrones series, thinking about human history, or watching horror movies.
