I am Keri L. Sutton, 34 years old, married, and have 3 young children. My son Noah is 11, daughter, Kaydon, is 9, and son, Rylan is 4. We are busy, but very blessed! I grew up in the boot heel of Missouri, my dad was a farmer. I moved to SW Missouri in 1997 to attend College of the Ozarks. After 2 years I transferred to nursing school and became an RN in 2001. I went on to obtain my BSN from the University of Missouri. Finally, in 2009 I graduated from Saint Louis University with my MSN. I am certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners as an Adult Nurse Practitioner.

I have additional trainings in geriatrics, women’s health, infectious disease, platelet

rich plasma therapy, acne treatment, and aesthetic services such as botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels. We offer a vast array of services in the clinic to accommodate our patient’s needs. I also provide on-site care for patients in several assisted livings and independent livings in the area. My dream has always been to have a full service clinic that offers comfort and hope, with the PATIENT’S NEEDS being the primary focus. I consider it an honor and privilege to be a part of any patient’s health care team. I look forward to you becoming part of the Kare family!

In honor of Ovarian & Gynecologic Cancers Awareness month all Women’s Exams are 20% off in the month of Sept.

S P OT L I G H T GYNCA Makes a Difference…

GYN Cancers Alliance, or GYNCA, was formed in May 2001 by twelve women battling ovarian and other gynecologic cancers (cervical, uterine, vulvar, vaginal). Why …because these Women of Courage recognized the need for a communitywide support group for all women, their families and caregivers who were experiencing the unique and often devastating circumstances of gynecologic cancers. GYNCA focuses on four key areas: education and awareness, monthly education-based support group meetings, survivor-to-survivor mentoring and emergency non-medical financial assistance.

September is National Gynecologic Cancers and Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month; September 6th is National Wear Teal Day (if you need a teal t-shirt, call 869-2220!) There are a couple of key

• Know your bodies … if you are experiencing any of the symptoms noted on the chart, bring them to the attention of your gynecologist. Early detection equals drastically improved survival rates!

• Start the conversation … we’ve got to be able to talk about changes in our reproductive organ region! We should be saying ovary and vagina with the same confidence as we say breast! They’re just body parts, and yet they’re often the ones we avoid talking about!

GYN Cancers Alliance is a collaborative effort between area communities and hospitals throughout its 22-county service region of southwest Missouri. With the support of an outstanding board of directors, grantors, private donors, volunteers and friends, GYNCA has grown from passing a hat to help a patient afford a meal to over $80,000 annually for gas cards, rents, utilities and repairs. If you’d like to donate or volunteer, call 417-869-2220 to see how you can help!

Every six minutes a woman is diagnosed with gynecologic cancer

Leonard, once a wheat farmer and rancher in Kansas felt the calling to attend Baptist Bible College here in Springfield, the next step in God’s plans was to send him to Arizona on a missionary mission where he preached and founded a church for the Navajo Indians, from 1970 to 1981. Then God called him back to our beloved Ozarks. His love for God inspired him to open a business specializing in gospel, inspirational and nature framed art in 2012.

Oretha, a former vocational rehabilitation counselor, and at one time the co-owner of S. W. School of broadcasting, now spends her days at the retail store working side by side with Leonard, who is now 87 years old and full of more spunk than most. They attend Cherry Street Baptist Church and are very active in the M.O.B. networking group.

The store inventory also consists of a large selection of Harborlight Light House collector’s pieces, Ty Beanie Babies, Silpada Jewelry, P&J designer handbags, and accent furniture.

You can take a virtual 3D tour of the store at their website, Leonard & Oretha McVey, owners of www.lighthousetreasuresLLC.com.
