The patient knows themselves better than anybody. It's very important to listen to what they have to say, hear their concerns and incorporate that into their treatment.

About Amy Arthington, APRN
Amy Arthington was 10 years old when her grandfather had knee replacement surgery. That’s when she knew nursing was her calling.
“He was my hero and I didn’t like seeing him in the hospital bed. On the way home, I told my grandmother that I wanted to be a nurse. She questioned how that could be since I’d been so uncomfortable. I told her it was because I couldn’t fix him and I wanted to be able to help.”
Arthington earned her undergraduate degree from Fort Hays State University and has been a nurse for more than 30 years. She worked with oncology and pulmonology patients for nine years and was ready to help people in a more advanced way, so Arthington earned her master’s degree from Maryville University and became a nurse practitioner.
“I’ve dedicated my life to nursing. I thrive having one on one contact with my patients and watching them make progress over time. I love being able to make a difference every day.”
