✨ Meet Hailey Wehner, PA-C ✨
We are so excited to welcome Hailey to Whole Heart Family Medicine! She brings compassion, kindness, and a genuine love for helping others live healthier, fuller lives. 🤍

To help you get to know her better, we asked Hailey a few questions:

🌟Where are you from? Where did you go to PA school?
- “I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and did my undergrad and grad programs with Gannon University in Erie, PA. I love all the Pittsburgh sports teams and usually go to games yearly. I found beautiful Charleston on one of my clinical rotations and never left!”

🌟What do you love most about patient care?
- “It’s always been my calling to serve people, and I love being able to help them solve problems and feel their best. I also enjoy building caring relationships and truly getting to know my patients throughout our time together.”

🌟 Do you have any pets? Tell us about them!
- “Yes, my fiancé and I have a grey tabby cat named Tiger (for the Clemson tigers) and he is the most social cat, he acts more like a dog. He loves to follow us around and play fetch with his favorite squirrel toy.”

🌟 What’s your favorite way to move your body?
- “Walking/running, Pilates, and cycling. Staying active is so essential for my mental health and energy!”

We’re thrilled for you to meet Hailey in person—her heart for patients truly shines, and we know she’s going to bless our Whole Heart family! 💙

PLEASE don’t believe the social media influencers saying that cholesterol doesn’t cause heart disease, OR that it’s healthier to have higher cholesterol. This is absolutely not true!!!

Yes, we need cholesterol for cell membranes and hormones, etc. but you don’t need a lot. And there are certainly other risk factors besides cholesterol that also cause heart disease (it’s not just about hugg cholesterol), but cumulative exposure matters!

Dr. Paddy Barrett does a fabulous job explaining this in this article- well worth the read if you have any question about this.

Anyone interested in joining me for this free conference in NC next month!? At Whole Heart Family Medicine, we understand that full healing is more than just physical, but body, soul, and spirit.

My sister Amy is hosting this conference through her nonprofit, Hesed Place - Complex Trauma Recovery, a beautiful organization that supports survivors of trauma through their whole healing journeys. She is incredibly knowlegable and compassionate and will be teaching for half the conference.

The second speaker is Dr. Lori Basey, whose passion and mission is also to help people heal from trauma. Dr. Basey founded No Boundaries International - she works locally in Oklahoma with her team, and also travels internationally as an educator training other leaders. She has a particular niche for merging the science of the brain with inner healing. She is who I traveled to Uganda with last year to do trauma healing work in refugee camps and with the only survivors of a school massacre (and am about to meet up with again in Uganda tomorrow!) I have also visited Oklahoma to learn how they help the homeless and s*x trafficked in their city, and it is a beautiful ministry (their work is done out of relationship with the people, not just charity handouts).

Both Amy and Dr. Lori feel strongly that money should not be an obstacle to healing, so there is no registration fee for the conference.

Please feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested - and register soon to save your spot! I would love to see you there!

🥄 Lentil Taste Test at Whole Heart!
Last week, our team had so much fun trying 8 different flavors from lentiful—a quick, delicious, and nutritious snack made with lentils!

Why we love Lentiful:
✅ High in protein
✅ High in fiber
✅ Super convenient (just add water + microwave!)
✅ Made with real, nourishing ingredients

Perfect for busy days when you need something satisfying and healthy in a pinch!

✨ Our top picks:
• Homestyle Chili
• French Mirepoix
• Pineapple Chorizo

🥄 Least favorite? The Thai Coconut Curry wasn’t a hit with our crew—but everyone has different tastes!

We’re always on the lookout for healthy, realistic snack options to recommend—and this one definitely made the list. 💚✨
