“I truly believe that knowledge is empowering,” McConnell said in a news release. “A patient’s understanding of their care plan is imperative to their optimal healing. I make an effort to ensure that each patient I see knows what their plan is and why each step is important to their overall well-being.”

“I am here to help you fulfill your health care goals,” she added. “I believe that your health and care plan is a personal choice and I want to help you meet your individual goals.”

McConnell is married, with two fur babies. She and her husband are currently expecting their first child.

She enjoys spending time with family and friends, making crafts, and hosting people at her home.
