About

Ava carries most of the same-day sick schedule at Ankeny and is usually the person who has time to talk through a vaccine question without a clock running. She trained as a pediatric nurse in a children's emergency department, which shows in how fast she sorts sick from unwell.

She runs our Saturday walk-in flu clinics in October and November.
