The Vital Role of Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants in Our Practice
 
  The physicians of Central Texas Heart Center want you to know more about the important part that our Nurse Practitioner, Lynda Jarrell, and our Physician Assistant, Douglas Laird, play in improving access to high quality care for you in our office and in the hospital.  These licensed healthcare professionals work closely with their respective physicians and may be involved as part of your care team.  Many of you have already experienced the value they add to your care but we urge you to read a letter from our physicians explaining that relationship and brochures about both professions that are available in our reception areas. For more information about Nurse Practitioners please see http://npfinder.com/faq.pdf or for more information about Physician Assistants, please see http://www.aapa.org/geninfo1.html.  For more specific information about Lynda and Doug and to review their professional credentials and experience, please see the Our Providers link on the left side.
