Nikki Parquette, PA-C

Nikki Parquette graduated from Illinois College with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology.

After learning about the shortage of combat medics during the Afghanistan War, she enlisted in the U.S. Army as a combat medic and provided critical support to troops.

Once in the medical system, she realized that too many sick and hurting people were receiving inferior and impersonal care, which motivated her to pursue further education.

She earned a Master's Degree through the Interservice Physician Assistant Program with the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Physician Assistant Studies.

She later opened Spear Direct Care to serve her community by guiding people to a healthier life through easy access to superior healthcare.
