Background:
Stacy comes to Tri-County Health Care with 13 years of acute care RN experience with a primary focus on emergency medicine. As a native of Staples, she has a love for rural healthcare and wants people to receive excellent care right at home. She has two wonderful children who keep her on her toes. Her oldest son, Garrett, is certain he is going to be a football star. Eli, is a sneaky little guy who loves to help mom bake cookies. They also have Bailey the Multipoo who is 8-years-old and loves life.

What inspired you to get into medicine?
I was inspired by the people who cared for my father when he had his heart attack. I was not old enough to drive him to the ER. It was a struggle but I got him the help he needed. The care amazed me. I have been addicted to heart health ever since. Rural medicine has become my life.

Why did you choose Tri-County Health Care?
I was blessed to do my emergency medicine clinical rotation with Dr. Redig at Tri-County Health Care. It immediately felt like home. Everyone in the organization treated me with respect and warmth. I love rural healthcare. I want people to be able to receive excellent care right where they are, at home. I want to help deliver that care to this great community.

What do you like to do outside of work?
I love to run and have completed three full marathons. I also enjoy the outdoors and baking.

What is one interesting, unique or fun thing that most people do not know about you?
I went skydiving in Hawaii, and plan to go again! I love adventure!
