Her advanced nursing skills and comprehensive clinical knowledge are an invaluable asset to Family First Urgent Care patients, while her healthcare administration experience contributes to the clinic’s fluid day-to-day operations.
Connie graduated from Mary Meek School of Nursing in Abilene, TX, and practiced at Hendrick Medical Center in Abilene for 30 years, serving as program coordinator, charge nurse, staff nurse, and ultimately as the nursing director and manager of the regional trauma center.

In addition to assessing, diagnosing, and treating patients in her care, Connie launched and managed a medical billing and nurse consultancy company for many years. This expertise has been a significant factor in the seamless patient management at Family First Urgent Care, ensuring accurate insurance claim filings and, as a result, optimal approval and reimbursement rates for patients.
