🌟 "The journey to becoming a PA was guided by inspiring mentors and a deep desire to make my corner of the world better. 🌎💪 My teachers urged us to make a positive impact, and the PA profession offered that path. Today, I'm still inspired by the resilience and success of my patients. 🙌❤️
My favorite part of being a PA? The connections I share with patients, their smiles when they return to what they love, and the endless learning. 🤝📚 I'm fortunate to be part of a dynamic team that pushes boundaries and exceeds expectations. 🚀
Outside of my PA role, I'm an explorer at heart, discovering new spots in the city, savoring meals at restaurants, and itching to travel again. 🌆🍽️✈️ I thrive on adventure, whether it's running by the lake, kayaking, or cheering for the Cubs and Fighting Irish. ⚾🏃♂️
My advice for aspiring PAs: Keep your curiosity alive, never stop learning, and soak in knowledge from those around you. 🧐📖 Whether you're just dreaming of this profession or have been a PA for years, there's always something new to discover. 🩺🌟

In honor of physician assistant week. Meet Taylor one of our incredible physicians assistant and a little about her:
🌟 “The journey to becoming a PA was sparked by witnessing the incredible impact they have on patients’ lives. As an athletic trainer in a clinical setting, I saw their wealth of knowledge and their amazing ability to work as a team to make a real difference. 🩺🤝
My favorite part of being a PA? Being a part of our patients’ recovery journeys. The moment a diagnosis hits can be crushing but helping them return to their beloved sports and activities is immensely rewarding. 🏋️♂️🎾
Outside of the PA world, I’m all about staying active – running, playing soccer with an awesome team, and exploring the world as a foodie and traveler. 🏃♀️⚽🌍
For aspiring PAs, my advice is simple: stay hungry for knowledge, seize every learning opportunity, and connect with as many PAs as you can. We all have unique paths that led us here. 📚🤓
Feeling truly lucky to be part of this profession! 🙏 ” 🙌🩺
