Celebrating Advanced Practice Provider Week: Meet Reegan Miller, PA-C

Meet Reegan Miller, a pedi­atric physi­cian assis­tant (PA), who loves solv­ing prob­lems, build­ing con­nec­tions with patients and fam­i­lies, and stay­ing active — whether it’s hik­ing, play­ing pick­le­ball, or walk­ing her dog. She shares what inspired her jour­ney into health­care, the lessons she’s learned from her young patients, and what makes her work in pedi­atrics so meaningful.

Reegan Miller, PA‑C

Q: What first sparked your inter­est in health­care, and what inspired you to become an Advanced Prac­tice Provider?

A: I always knew that I want­ed to pur­sue a career in health­care. I have always had a pas­sion for solv­ing prob­lems and help­ing peo­ple. Being a PA allows me to work close­ly and col­lab­o­rate with a vari­ety of health­care pro­fes­sion­als. Work­ing in pedi­atrics at the South Bend Clin­ic is very reward­ing, as I get to work with a team of pedi­a­tri­cians to pro­vide the best health­care that we can for our patients.

Q: Was there a per­son or expe­ri­ence that influ­enced your career path?

A: My expe­ri­ence dur­ing my pedi­atric rota­tion in school influ­enced me to pur­sue a career focused on pedi­atrics. I loved being able to work with young patients, from new­borns to adolescents.

Q: What do you find most mean­ing­ful about the work you do each day?

A: The most mean­ing­ful aspect of work­ing in pedi­atrics is the rela­tion­ships that I get to build with patients and their families.

Q: What’s one les­son you’ve learned from your patients?

A: One les­son that I’ve learned while work­ing in pedi­atrics is to be a good lis­ten­er. Lis­ten­ing intent­ly to what my young patients and their fam­i­lies have to say is cru­cial in help­ing to pro­vide the high­est qual­i­ty of care for my patients and in build­ing trust­ing relationships.

Look­ing for com­pas­sion­ate pedi­atric care that lis­tens to your fam­i­ly’s needs? Our pedi­atric team is ded­i­cat­ed to build­ing trust­ing rela­tion­ships with chil­dren and par­ents. Sched­ule your child’s appoint­ment with The South Bend Clin­ic today.

Q: What do you enjoy doing out­side of work, or what’s your favorite way to recharge?

A: Out­side of work, I enjoy read­ing and spend­ing time out­side — walk­ing my dog, hik­ing, and play­ing pickleball.

Q: What’s some­thing peo­ple might be sur­prised to learn about you?

A: Peo­ple might be sur­prised to know that, through­out my col­lege edu­ca­tion, I minored in Amer­i­can Sign Language.

At The South Bend Clin­ic, our pedi­atric providers like Reegan are com­mit­ted to cre­at­ing mean­ing­ful rela­tion­ships with chil­dren and fam­i­lies through excep­tion­al lis­ten­ing and per­son­al­ized care.
