When she’s not in the office, Kristin enjoys walking, camping, and spending quality time with her family. ⛺️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

When asked what she enjoys most about her job, Kristin said:
✨ “Getting to see all of our patients happy with their treatments and getting to help others.”

We also asked her a fun question: “What’s the silliest thing you believed as a child?”

We are thrilled to share that the Daddy/Daughter Glow Dance was an incredible success – we completely sold out of tickets! We also raised $1070! The money will go towards upkeep of the gym equipment and to purchase DME equipment if needed.

From the sweet treats and glowing accessories to the fun-filled dancing and smiling faces, the evening was nothing short of magical. It was truly heartwarming to see so many dads, grandpas, uncles, and father figures making unforgettable memories with the special little girls in their lives.

We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended, helped spread the word, and supported the event. Your enthusiasm and participation made this night one to remember. Big thank you to Heather and Bobby Swymeler, Jen Miller, Kristin Chitwood, and Payton Hanes for helping with the event. Without them the event wouldn't of been possible.

If you have pictures feel free to tag Access II in them.

We’re already looking forward to the next one – stay tuned for more family-friendly events coming soon!
