We are delighted to introduce you to our new RN-Kristy Piersawl at the Wilmore Clinic. She is a UK CON graduate and her husband is a UK employee as well.

Hello! My name is Kristy Piersawl, and I’m originally a Lexington, KY native. I’m a wife to Matthew, and mama to Iris (6) and Yates (3 this Friday!) I am an UK CON alum, graduating in December of 2008. I started my career at Kentucky Children’s Hospital, working on 4W with pediatric hematology and oncology patients. My nursing career has led me to Markey Cancer Center, where I worked as a research nurse, to labor hall, and a booming Urgent Care most recently. My newest position is at the CON Phyllis D. Corbitt Community Health Center in Wilmore. My husband’s family has been in Wilmore since the 1800’s, and our family moved to Wilmore in the summer of 2019. We love it here so very much, and I am so excited to serve my community in our special town.

and other screening tests to detect potential problems;
