For Gaven Moore, PA, working in healthcare was more than a calling, it runs in his blood. His grandmother was a nurse at Bedford for over 50 years, and his mother is a nurse practitioner there today.
“People always come up to me and tell me how much they love my mother or grandmother, which has made me really appreciate the genuine impact they’ve had in the community,” says Moore. “I knew I wanted to make a similar impact, so that's what led to my desire to go into medicine.”
Moore joined the Bloomington Cardiothoracic Surgery team in September 2025, just a few months after graduating PA school. Before graduation, Moore spent more than three years working as a tech in the Bedford Emergency department.
Since stepping into his role as a PA, Moore has enjoyed learning, growing, and adjusting to working with a rapidly expanding cardiovascular surgery team.
“The teamwork has been truly outstanding,” says Moore. “They have allowed me to learn and grow as a provider by giving me the chance to do things on my own, but also being there to support me.”
