Kirsten is so excited to join Heartland Primary Care as a pediatric physician assistant! She is passionate about whole child care from birth to adulthood, and particularly interested in newborn care, LGBTQ youth, and mental health. She has practiced across the country in Colorado and Washington, and is happily moving back home to KC with her husband and daughter. When she’s not taking care of kiddos, she enjoys spending time with her family, riding her horses, or hiking with her dogs.
