Get to Know Lauren Perry, WHNP: A Passion for Women’s Health at Sylacauga GYN

At Sylacauga GYN we know that a strong bond between you and your healthcare provider makes all the difference. Feeling comfortable and confident in your care starts with knowing the person behind the stethoscope! That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce Lauren Perry, Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, as the newest member of our team. 

With her expertise, compassionate approach, and dedication to women’s health, Lauren is here to support and care for you every step of the way. If you’re looking for a provider who listens and prioritizes your unique needs, you’re in great hands. Today, we’re sitting down with Lauren for an exclusive interview—let’s get to know her!

Inspired by Care, Led by Compassion

Lauren’s interest in becoming a nurse practitioner started long before she put on her first pair of scrubs. As a teenager, she saw a nurse practitioner at her primary care office and was struck by how comfortable and cared for she felt.

It was different from other healthcare experiences she’d had, and it stuck with her. She started looking into the profession and quickly realized it was exactly where she belonged.

The Path to Women’s Health

Lauren began her journey in the realm of Labor and Delivery. After earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Jacksonville State University in 2020, she started her career at Grandview Medical Center, helping women through one of the most exciting and life-changing experiences—childbirth. 

While she loved being a nurse in the hospital setting, she became curious about what care looked like outside those doors. That curiosity led her to a role as a Women’s Health RN in a clinic at Grandview, where she gained a new appreciation for the connections she could build with patients. 

As she worked, she pursued her Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner degree at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, solidifying her place in the world of women’s health.

Providing Women’s Healthcare to Smaller Communities

Growing up in Pell City, Lauren understands the challenges of finding great healthcare in smaller communities. ”Being able to work in an area that is so close to where I grew up and to get to take care of this community is a privilege to me,” she said. 

It’s one of the reasons she’s so excited to be part of Sylacauga GYN! She knows that access to care isn’t always easy in rural areas, and she’s grateful for the opportunity to provide the kind of support and medical care that every woman deserves.

A Passion for Helping Women Through Life’s Biggest Transitions

Lauren loves caring for women at every stage of life, but preparing for pregnancy and realigning afterward during postpartum care hold a special place in her heart. “There is something so special about caring for someone before and after their pregnancy,” she said. 

Though she started her career in obstetrics, helping women through the next great transition—menopause—will also be a major focus as she joins the Sylacauga GYN family. Whether it’s answering questions or offering reassurance, she’s there to help make the journey smoother.

Ask Away—No Question is Off-Limits

One of the things Lauren wishes more women knew? A visit to your gynecologist in Alabama doesn’t have to be intimidating. There’s no need to be nervous—whether you’re coming in for a routine checkup, a concern, or just to talk things through. 

She encourages patients to bring their questions, no matter how small they might seem. “We can just chat about whatever is going on with you, and go from there. No need to be afraid,” she reassured. Everyone has concerns or things they’ve wondered about, and she wants to be a trusted resource.

Life Outside the Office

When she’s not at the clinic, Lauren enjoys life in Chelsea with her husband and their dog, Luna. They’ve been married for just over a year, and she loves spending time with him, walking their pup, and catching up with family and friends. She’s an avid reader (her Kindle is never far from reach) and enjoys trying new recipes in the kitchen.

Ready to Meet You!

Lauren wants every patient to feel comfortable, heard, and cared for when they walk through the door. She understands that visiting a new provider can be a little scary, but she hopes to make it an easy and reassuring experience. 

She’s looking forward to building lasting relationships with patients and being a trusted part of their healthcare journey. “I know that coming into an unfamiliar space can be intimidating, but it is always my aim to treat you how I would want someone to treat one of my friends or family members. I can’t wait to meet you!”
