GRAVETTE -- Ozarks Community Hospital in Gravette recently welcomed nurse practitioner Natasha Byrd, FNP, to the medical staff.

Byrd is collaborating with pain management specialist Dr. Heather Stelling in both the OCH Pain Clinic and at the OCH Jasper County Clinic - Webb City Campus.

Natasha received her education from Missouri Southern State University and the University of Missouri, Kansas City. She is currently a member of the Missouri Nurses Association and the Graduate Nurses Association.

"While working at OCH in Webb City as a student, I was extremely impressed with how OCH treated its staff," says Byrd. "When I saw a position for nurse practitioner open, I jumped at the opportunity to be a part of such a great team."

The OCH of Gravette Pain Management Clinic provides outpatient services to patients with chronic pain who have not responded to other therapy modalities.
