My Passion

Keri Holyoak, MPH, MSHS, PA-C

My passion centers around helping and supporting others. Whether it’s through working as a derm PA, where I contribute to patient care and well-being in a broader sense, I am dedicated to positively impacting people’s lives. This manifests in various ways, providing medical care, offering support and guidance, and advocating for the well-being of those around me. Embracing others has given me a purpose-driven journey in my personal and professional life.

My “why” is to create a dermatology community that fosters connection, inclusivity, and care that will inspire the next generation. By having a platform for professionals to share insights and support one another, we strengthen the fabric of the healthcare community. It facilitates the exchange of knowledge, best practices, and emotional support, ultimately enhancing the overall well-being of all.

APPs play a pivotal role in the healthcare landscape, driven by a profound passion for helping others. My passion is to recognize and harness the power and potential of APPs. Through collaboration, advocacy, and a commitment to patient education, APPs are inspiring, educating, and transforming healthcare for the better. I feel honored to be part of a culture of mutual support.
