Y’all may have already seen her smiling face around the clinic, but we wanted to take a minute to properly introduce one of our own 💛
✨ Lacey Santa Cruz has been with us for a little while now here at Elberta Family Practice Clinic, and we are so thankful to have her as part of our team!
🩺 A little about her:
Lacey is a dedicated Family Nurse Practitioner and nurse educator with a strong foundation in both clinical practice and academia. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of South Alabama and went on to complete both her Master of Science in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice at Jacksonville State University. Her professional experience includes five years as a pediatric registered nurse before becoming a nurse practitioner. In addition to her clinical work, Lacey serves as a full-time nursing faculty member at Columbia Southern University. She is passionate about preparing future nurses through effective teaching strategies, meaningful mentorship, and the integration of real-world clinical experiences into the learning environment.
Lacey is a life-long resident of Baldwin County, along with her husband, Caleb Santa Cruz, who serves as the youth pastor for Summit Church. Together, they have a young son and two dogs. Ministry is a central part of her life, and she values opportunities to serve and connect with others through it. In her free time, she enjoys reading, exploring her interest in American history, and discovering new foods, especially when traveling with her husband. She also values outdoor leisure time, whether relaxing with her family, walking their dogs, or enjoying nature as a way to recharge.
Lacey looks forward to building lasting relationships and serving the community she has always called home.
