AHCCCS AHCCCS Complete Care Providers in Arizona

Abbey grew up in the snow country of Wyoming, and her journey into healthcare began with occupational therapy at Northwest College before she shifted toward health sciences at the University of Wyoming. That foundation led her to A.T. Still University, where she completed her Physician Assistant Studies. What draws Abbey to women's health is the breadth of it, she thrives on the variety of seeing patients through every stage of life, from contraception counseling and fertility questions to navigating menopause. She especially loves living and working in the San Tan Valley community, where she feels she can make a real difference in a growing area. Abbey is committed to continued learning and practicing a high standard of medicine for every patient who walks through her door.

Alicia's road to women's health started in a surprising place, pediatric care for medically complex children. That early experience taught her the value of listening carefully, thinking holistically, and never rushing a patient through an appointment. She earned her nursing degree from Chamberlain College of Nursing and later completed her family nurse practitioner training at Grand Canyon University, building expertise across women's health, family practice, and pediatric care. At MomDoc's Mercy Gilbert office, Alicia combines that broad clinical foundation with a warm, approachable style that puts patients at ease. She is the kind of provider who makes time for the extra question and who remembers the details that matter.

Angel's journey into midwifery began on the other side of the world. She earned her nursing degree at the National University of Singapore and spent her early career as an OB/GYN nurse at Mount Elizabeth Hospital, one of Singapore's premier private hospitals. It was there, witnessing births and caring for women through some of the most transformative moments of their lives, that she knew she wanted to do more than assist, she wanted to lead that care. Angel moved to the United States and completed her Master of Science in Nursing with a Nurse Midwifery focus at the University of Colorado Denver, where she also earned a post-graduate certificate as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner. That combination gives her an unusually broad clinical lens, spanning pregnancy and birth through family planning and well-woman care. Outside the exam room, Angel is a serious home cook and baker who experiments with cuisines from around the world. Her favorite undertaking? Preparing sea cucumber from scratch, a painstaking, multi-day process that she says is absolutely worth every hour. She brings that same patience and attention to detail to every patient she sees.

Before Angie ever set foot in a delivery room, she spent six years as a State Senator in South Dakota, advocating for underserved communities and learning, in a very different arena, what it means to show up for people during vulnerable moments. That chapter earned her the Harvey Milk Award from the White House in 2012, but it also planted a seed. After a decade in politics and nonprofit work, Angie pivoted to healthcare, starting with a psychology degree and then earning her nursing degree from Augustana University. She spent three years as a postpartum RN at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where she served as charge nurse and preceptor, and another three years working with children and adolescents in an acute psychiatric facility in Sioux Falls. Each role deepened her conviction that the most meaningful care happens at the intersection of physical and emotional health. Angie completed her midwifery degree at Frontier Nursing University in 2022 and relocated to Arizona with her family. At MomDoc's Power office, she brings an uncommon combination of legislative advocacy, psychiatric insight, and clinical skill to her midwifery practice, the kind of background that makes her especially attuned to what her patients need, even when they are not sure how to ask for it.

Anushriya was born in India and grew up in Arizona, where she developed a fascination with the science behind human development. At Arizona State University, she dove deep into genetics, cell biology, and developmental biology before heading east to New York for her physician assistant training at Hofstra University. That cross-country move expanded her clinical world, rotations in OB/GYN, internal medicine, pediatrics, and surgery gave her a panoramic view of patient care. But it was women's health that pulled her in and held on. Anushriya returned to Arizona and joined MomDoc's Estrella office, where she brings that multidisciplinary training to every patient encounter. She is fluent in Hindi, which allows her to connect with patients and families in their preferred language.

Aya grew up right here in Gilbert, Arizona, and built her entire educational path close to home, from Chandler Gilbert Community College to Arizona State University and then A.T. Still University for her PA training. Her capstone project on smoking cessation was notable enough to be featured in the NCCPA's weekly newsletter, an early sign of her instinct for community-focused care. That instinct runs deep: Aya has volunteered with Phoenix Allies for Community Health locally and traveled to Tyre, Lebanon to serve alongside the Red Crescent on a medical mission. With clinical training that spanned OB/GYN, primary care, emergency medicine, and surgery, she brings a well-rounded perspective to women's health. For Aya, medicine has always been about serving the community she grew up in, and now she gets to do exactly that.

Becky's career in women's health spans over four decades, a timeline that says less about longevity and more about a provider who has never stopped finding meaning in the work. She started in nursing in the early 1980s, earned her Women's Health Nurse Practitioner certification in 1994, and has since practiced across a wide range of clinical settings in Arizona, from large OB/GYN groups to community-focused practices. Along the way, she became a dedicated educator, precepting nurse practitioner students from universities across the country and serving as an Adjunct Professor at Arizona State University. Her teaching was recognized with ASU's Preceptor of the Year Award in 2008. Becky is also a sought-after speaker on menopause management, HRT, HPV vaccination, and contraceptive care, and she works as a legal consultant in women's health. What drives her, after all these years, is the privilege of caring for women across every phase of life. She and her family recently moved to the White Mountains, and she is thrilled to bring her experience to the Show Low community.
