Biography

My name is Holly Walker. I am originally from Lexington, MS but have lived in the Jackson metro area for over twenty years. Growing up in a small town with limited resources and healthcare access helped me to choose my career path of helping others. Initially I chose Social Work, but later switched to a career in Nursing due to the number of wonderful opportunities available with the ability to still do what I love to do, help others. My goal as a provider is to always provide evidence-based, appropriate care to all that I encounter. I will always do my part to help eliminate health disparities and to remove barriers to receiving appropriate care. My hobbies include riding bicycles, traveling, shopping and spending time with family.
