Kitty Carpenter
Katherine “Kitty” Carpenter’s job title is Office Facilitator, but she’s really our “Office Everything.” If a patient needs a test, Kitty schedules it. If a patient needs a wound vac put on, she installs it. If a patient needs ANYTHING, Kitty will make it happen. She can be on one phone line scheduling an appointment, on another line getting a patient’s records faxed over, check off her “to-do” list and unjam a copy machine — all at the same time! This is no exaggeration. Our wound care staff and its attitude all begins with Kitty’s infectious smile. Kitty is an all-encompassing team player and she does it all with the most “can-do” attitude you will ever experience.

Robin is in charge of our in-office pharmacy. She purchases all of our medications, prepares all infusion therapies and keeps detailed records of everyone’s dosages.
Tia Wilson
Tia is in charge of billing and bookkeeping. The picture to the right is not of Tia Wilson, since Tia prefers not to be photographed. While you’re in our office, if you find yourself smiling profusely or laughing out loud, there’s a good chance you’re conversing with Tia.
Shenaria Harris
Shenaria runs our Blood Café (infusion room). Whether she’s placing an IV or making a protein shake, she does it all with a friendly smile on her face and knows how to always make everyone feel right at home.
