Mile Bluff welcomes new PA-Cs to Urgent Care Department
As an organization that is committed to providing compassionate and progressive care, Mile Bluff is pleased to announce the addition of two physician assistants to the Urgent Care team.
Jennifer Birdsey, PA-C
In August, Jennifer Birdsey, PA-C joined the Emergency & Urgent Care Department at Mile Bluff.
Jennifer is eager to provide care to patients by helping with their immediate needs, and their overall health. “I really enjoy working with people and having conversations about how to improve their health, not only in the acute setting, but also preventative care,” says Jennifer. “I think having discussions about healthy lifestyle habits gives my patients the ability to better control their quality of life, and puts them in control of creating a better future for themselves.”
When patients come to urgent care, they may find a busy waiting room. Jennifer wants to ensure patients, that regardless of how busy the urgent care is, she will provide patients with only the best care.
“While the urgent care can be busy, I hope patients feel that they are working with someone who is attentive and truly listens to their concerns,” explains Jennifer. “I like to make sure that patients leave the urgent care feeling like they are pointed in the right direction to recovery.”
“Mile Bluff has a great sense of community. Patients and staff members have been so welcoming and supportive. Everyone here works toward the goal of creating a better and manageable future for their patients.”
Jennifer joins Mile Bluff after attending school in Savannah, Georgia. When not at work, Jennifer enjoys being active outside with hiking and playing volleyball.
Ashlie Dushek, PA-C
In August, Mile Bluff also welcomed Ashlie Dushek, PA-C to the Emergency & Urgent Care team.
For as long as she can remember, Ashlie wanted to work in medicine. “I enjoy working with people and find a medical career to be very rewarding in many ways,” says Ashlie. “This field of work always keeps me wondering, thinking and learning. I just can’t imagine doing anything else.”
Ashlie grew up near Pittsville. She completed her Bachelor of Science in biology from UW – La Crosse. After working for two years doing in-home care for individuals who were unable to care for themselves, Ashlie completed a master’s degree in physician assistant studies from UW – Madison. During her clinical rotations, Ashlie spent time at Mile Bluff.
“As a student, I rotated through many different healthcare facilities. I felt most at home at Mile Bluff, and I loved the employees and patients,” explains Ashlie. “I was attracted to Mile Bluff because I love rural living and rural medicine. I feel that my values align well here.”
Outside of work, Ashlie enjoys spending time with her family and friends, traveling, and helping her dad on the cranberry marsh.
With the addition of these providers, Mile Bluff’s team is pleased with the continued growth of the medical staff. To learn more about Mile Bluff’s healthcare providers, please visit www.milebluff.com.
