Kaitie Worley, PA-C joined The Iowa Clinic Gastroenterology department because of the high quality, patient-centered care and the philanthropic culture. For Kaitie, she chose gastroenterology because of the many vital functions it serves in our daily lives and allows her to help patients return to feeling like the best and healthiest versions of themselves. Giving her patients a safe space to share their health concerns and develop a treatment plan to help them feel better is one of the most rewarding parts of her job. An Iowa native, Kaitie still resides in Des Moines with her husband and daughter. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, being outside, trying new restaurants, reading, and supporting Drake athletics. If she was not a provider, she might have been a yoga instructor.
