Amaryllis Hager

I believe that Amaryllis Hager, CNM, WHNP-BC should be nominated because she took on the essential role of leading The Lovering Health Center at the height of the pandemic. As our sole provider, Amaryllis was able to consistently provide compassionate and thorough reproductive health care while also implementing new measures of Covid-19 safety such as in-depth telehealth visits and other distanced measures like parking lot visits. Despite the adversity of being one of four abortion clinics in the entire state during a pandemic, Amaryllis has continued to put her entire heart into making sure abortion remains accessible and compassionate. Additionally, during the pandemic, Amaryllis kicked off a brand new transgender health care program at The Lovering Health Center which includes Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy. Thanks to Amaryllis, The Lovering Health Center has widened its ability to provide comprehensive reproductive and sexual health care to people of ALL genders. As a queer and feminist health care provider, Amaryllis continues to let her positivity, inclusivity, and commitment to social justice shine through her medical practice. In the short amount of time Amaryllis has been at The Lovering, she has proven to be a strong leader that the team can model themselves after.
