Lacey Austin, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

Years of listening and learning: “I started my career in 2012 after earning my BSN. I spent five years as an RN at Baylor Scott & White Health before going back for my MSN and becoming a family nurse practitioner. Since then, I’ve worked in both internal medicine and urgent care, six years of fast-paced, broad-scope experience that helped me grow as a provider.”

Medicine hit close to home: “Growing up with severe club feet and a mom who battled breast cancer, I spent a lot of time in hospitals on the other side of the bed. I met so many incredible nurses, doctors, and surgeons who made a lasting impact on me. They showed me how powerful compassion can be, and they’re a big reason I chose this path.”

A little kindness goes far: “I try to be a true listener. It’s amazing what patients share when they feel heard, and how much better we can treat them because of it. I also believe kindness is underrated in medicine. At Midi, I love helping midlife women feel like themselves again and showing them there are options when they’ve been told otherwise.”
