My philosophy of care is patient-driven. I want to make sure patients understand their diagnoses and feel empowered to ask questions, so that they can take control over their health.

Kristen Allen, PA-C, received her undergraduate degree from Bucknell University and her masters in physician assistant studies from Chatham University. Allen is a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants and the Kansas Associations of Physician Assistants.
“I always knew I wanted a career that would allow me to help people. Being a physician assistant allows me to take care of the whole person while building a relationship with the patient.”
Allen has worked with the hospitalist group at LMH Health since 2014. She has also worked on a PRN basis in LMH Health’s primary care clinics.
“I specialize in patients’ recovery as they transition from a complex hospital stay back into their daily life.”
One of Allen’s favorite aspects of her job is being able to work with her patients to improve their quality of life.
“I want my patients to know that I am here to listen. It’s important to me that I understand what is bothering them and what they are looking for.”
In her free time, Allen enjoys cooking and trying new foods, and traveling with her family.
