Owensboro Health opens new primary care location

(Owensboro, Ky. – March 28, 2024) – Members of the Owensboro Health System held a ribbon cutting Thursday morning to celebrate the opening of a new primary care practice called Owensboro Health Primary Care – The Springs, located in the Springs Health Centre at 2200 E. Parrish Avenue.

Two providers with stellar local reputations — Sylvia Sweatt, APRN and Kelsey Pedley, APRN — have joined the Owensboro Health organization as part of this exciting development.

Sylvia Sweatt, APRN, is a dedicated healthcare provider focusing on Family Practice. She offers various services, including comprehensive treatment for acute and chronic illnesses, wellness visits, CDL exams, and simple dermatology services for individuals aged 12 and above.

Sylvia’s journey into medicine began in 1992 when she became a registered nurse. Inspired by her experience working alongside ER physicians, she pursued an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse career to take a more active role in patient care planning.

Sylvia’s passion for her specialty lies in being a part of her patients’ health journeys, from maintaining their well-being to restoring optimal health during life’s changes. She believes in putting the patient at the center of care, following the philosophy that the customer is always right. Sylvia chose Owensboro Health to align with her goal of providing community-focused care and improving patient resources. Outside of work, she enjoys home renovation projects and outdoor activities like kayaking and boating in the beautiful countryside surrounding Owensboro.

Kelsey Pedley, APRN, a dedicated healthcare provider with a specialization in Primary Care, offers a comprehensive range of services to patients of all ages. From yearly wellness physicals to managing chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes, Kelsey focuses on providing personalized care to address the unique needs of each individual. With a compassionate approach, she ensures patients receive timely attention by offering same-day sick appointments to prevent unnecessary visits to urgent care facilities or emergency rooms.

Originally from Owensboro, Kelsey’s journey into medicine was inspired by her mother’s influence and her desire to impact patient care significantly. Choosing primary care as her specialty, she values the opportunity it provides to form lasting relationships with her patients, earning their trust even during sensitive discussions. Her philosophy revolves around patient-centered care, aiming to guide individuals toward healthier lives through tailored treatment plans and support.

Joining Owensboro Health was a strategic move for Kelsey to enhance patient care within the community she knows and loves. Embracing the thriving environment of Owensboro, where she has roots and now raises her own family, Kelsey finds joy in family-oriented activities like sports events and vacations. As a mother of three and a devoted spouse, Kelsey is committed to her profession and her family — in fact, Sylvia is Kelsey’s aunt. Her dedication shines through in her determination to provide exceptional care and build strong relationships.
