Nacogdoches Health Partners is proud to announce Nena Ivey, PA-C has joined the team of family care providers.

East Texas is home for Ivey who was born and raised in Joaquin. She was driven to success and planned to pursue her medical career from an early age.

“My father was diagnosed with colon cancer while I was in junior high and his cancer had already spread at the time of diagnosis,” Ivey said. “I have a passion for preventative medicine to prevent other families from losing a loved one too soon if possible.”

Ivey graduated from Joaquin High School as Valedictorian in 2000 and she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the Texas State University-San Marcos in 2004. Ivey completed her Master of Physician Assistant studies at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, graduating in 2006. She is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants and licensed by the Texas Medical Board.

Ivey’s experience includes serving as family medicine mid-level provider with Cline Family Practice, ETMC First Physicians and Satir and Satir Family Practice. 

Ivey and her husband Kyle live in Nacogdoches with their sons, daughter, and dogs. When she is away from the office, Nena is an avid dugout mom and actively involved in Holly Springs Baptist Church. She is invested in her community, and in making things better abroad as a volunteer on medical missions to Ecuador.
