✨Medical Team Spotlight: Iris✨
Meet Iris, one of the Medical Assistants keeping things running behind the scenes here at PHW. She joined the team in February 2026, but her medical journey started way back in 2017 at Long Beach Medical Care in California. 🌊🌴
What do you love most about your job? 😊
"I love the flexibility to keep operations running smoothly and every provider well-stocked. It lets me jump in and help my colleagues whenever they need it. I'm also constantly amazed by the depth of patient care our providers give. We aren't a typical clinic. Everyone is truly focused on helping patients reach their specific health goals."
What's one thing you wish more people knew about PHW? 🌾
"Don't do yourself a disservice by missing out on all PHW offers. There's a natural route to better health here, and I'd hate for anyone to miss it. Our providers have developed incredible custom supplements, our memberships include annual labs and DEXA scans, and the IV suite is such a blessing for anyone needing immune support or an energy boost."
A hobby people might not expect? 🪡🧵
"I'm a bit of a jack of all trades. Lately I've started sewing organic clothing. I just made baby onesies for our expecting providers and shorts for a colleague. Since Joann's closed, my dream is to open a pop-up shop in Wichita that carries organic fabrics and my handmade clothing."
How has working here changed the way you think about health? 🧠🩺
"I've personally thrived thanks to what Dr. Williams taught me about my iron and ferritin levels. I fought fatigue for years, but after I had my labs done, we found the root cause. We came up with a plan of care, and since then, I no longer feel like I'm dragging throughout the day."
Your personal wellness mantra? 🌱
"Don't ever feel silly or afraid to ask questions about things that may benefit your health. You are your own biggest advocate, because your body can only communicate with you."
Iris, we are so blessed to have you and your heart for patient care. Thanks for all you do!✨
