— AdventHealth Welcomes New Physician Assistant to Expand Care in East Asheville
HENDERSONVILLE, NC, Jan. 22, 2025 – AdventHealth is excited to welcome Anna Blackshear, MPAP, PA-C, to its team at AdventHealth Medical Group Family Medicine at Parkway*. Blackshear is a board-certified physician assistant who is passionate about women’s health issues with a focus on preventative health care and proactive screenings.
Blackshear earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, NC. She went on to earn her Master of Physician Assistant Practice from Campbell University in Buies Creek, NC.
Blackshear believes the key to excellent patient-centered care is to always be approachable and reliable. She is committed to working collaboratively with patients on their treatment plans, and providing whole-person care to every patient, every time.
“My care philosophy is patient-centered in which we come to a treatment plan together,” Blackshear explains. “I believe it is important to educate patients on their conditions and present multiple options for treatment we can discuss together and decide what is best for each individual.”
As a North Carolina native, Blackshear is looking forward to providing compassionate, patient-centered care to the community in East Asheville. She will be providing convenient, comprehensive family medicine care which will include annual physical exams, chronic care management, acute care visits, gynecological screenings, menopause management, breast health and much more.
When she is not providing whole-person care, Blackshear enjoys hiking, camping, reading historical memoirs, baking gluten-free desserts, engaging with her church community and spending time with her niece.
Blackshear is caring for patients at AdventHealth Medical Group Family Medicine at Parkway*. To learn more or schedule an appointment, visit AdventHealthWNC.com or call Call828-298-0333.
