Alicia Scott’s journey in healthcare began right here in Fayetteville. Sparked by a healthcare class at Fayetteville High School, Alicia joined MANA Family Medicine South as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in 2006. Over the next 20 years, she demonstrated an incredible work ethic, putting herself through college and nursing school while working. After serving as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) for a decade, Alicia reached a new milestone in 2024 by becoming a Registered Nurse.

Having worked closely with Dr. Larry Tuttle for many years, she now brings her extensive experience and deep-rooted community knowledge to her work with Dr. Andrew Coppola. Alicia believes that effective medicine starts with a deep connection. While symptoms are easy to spot, Alicia focuses on understanding the person behind the patient. This empathetic approach allows her to treat the "whole patient" with the compassion and dignity they deserve. For Alicia, the most rewarding part of Family Medicine is the longevity of the relationships she builds. She provides care for entire families—from energetic grandchildren to patients over 100 years old.

“In Family Medicine, we get to care for generational families. I love getting to know them and helping them navigate the transitions that come with aging. It’s incredibly fulfilling to see the impact of that care over time.” – Alicia Scott, RN

With nearly a decade of dedicated service at MANA, Cailey Rowlins is known for treating every patient with unwavering kindness and respect. A Huntsville native, Cailey’s passion for healthcare was sparked early by her grandmother, a Registered Nurse, and her mother, a CNA. By watching them work, she saw firsthand how quality care can transform a person's quality of life. Cailey’s journey in medicine began as an EMT while she put herself through nursing school. After joining MANA, she spent time as a float nurse in Family Medicine. After several years of working with Dr. Cheryl Hennigan, Cailey transitioned to Dr. Lauren Thompson’s team in 2023.

For Cailey, nursing is about more than just clinical tasks; it is about carrying forward a family tradition of service. She finds the most meaning in helping patients navigate their health challenges and being a source of comfort when they aren't feeling their best. "Cailey is an excellent nurse. She has been with MANA for almost a decade and always treats patients with kindness and respect." — Sheila Duncan, Clinic Manager
