Chasidy McAllister, APN, has joined Sparks Gastroenterology Center located inside Sparks Regional Medical Center on Towson Avenue.
McAllister, a Lavaca native, earned her master’s degree in nursing from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in December. She will work alongside Dr. Hrair Simonian and his staff to provide care to patients with a variety of gastrointestinal disorders.
McAllister has nearly 20 years nursing experience and has worked with geriatric patients during her career at long-term acute care facilities and rehabilitation centers.
“My grandparents and I were really close and I just have a lot of compassion for the older population,” McAllister said. “From being in a nursing home or rehab environment, I realize how important it is to give your time and attention to those patients.”
McAllister lives in Muldrow, Okla., with her husband and three children.
