Kara Pearce, LPN is WGA’s clinical supervisor. She grew up in West Virginia, but has worked in the Winchester area for many years as a Licensed Practical Nurse. Kara has previous work experience in a primary care setting for 10 years, and brings knowledge of many facets of healthcare to WGA. After leaving primary care, she began her career with WGA in November 2019. She has since worked diligently to build a strong clinical team. Kara oversees the daily operations of 21 clinical staff at this time, and successfully established and maintained COVID-19 related policies during 2020 and throughout the pandemic. She has been an essential part of the team to introduce new procedures and testing to our practice, including esophageal and anorectal manometries, as well as hemorrhoid banding. Additionally, she attended the Modernizing Medicine national conference in 2021, where she represented Winchester Gastroenterology.
