Lacey joined the PMC team in the Spring of 2021. Lacey enjoys getting to know patients and their families. While Lacey's title is "PR & Business Development Liaison," she enjoys jumping in and helping wherever she's needed and learning about other positions within the team. While PMC does not have an official uniform, Lacey has insisted that a smile is necessary to come to work, so she's added that to her uniform daily and never arrives without it (and her coffee). 

Lacey said, "PMC and their staff have been a part of my life for several years in working closely with my daughter. The passion within this team is abundant and unmatched. My family has been impacted in such a positive way by PMC and it is such a blessing to have the opportunity to be a part of something so meaningful on a daily basis."

She loves witnessing children discover their passions, purpose, and the world around them.

Anna graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.A in History. She intends to return to school to receive her degree as a PTA at Penn State Mont Alto, with a special interest in sports medicine and pediatrics. She is passionate about supporting and empowering children of all abilities in their physical, mental, emotional and social well being. She is in awe of the amazing services PMC has to offer, and loves witnessing such incredible work every single day.
