Abby Koons, NP, began practicing in 1994 and is certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation. "My own experience with receiving help in a time of need is one reason I became interested in healthcare. I wanted to have a career that provides hope and help to patients and their families when they seem to need it the most. "I enjoy singing, watching college football and basketball, following the Pittsburgh Steelers, and spending time with my family."
