Myka Stutzman finished our PTA program in 2023. Since that time I have had the opportunity to work alongside her at Marshall Browning Hospital in Du Quoin It has been a pleasure to watch her “grow up” to become an excellent PTA!
Now, she is off to another adventure in a new job across the country. Good luck, Myka!
