Dr. Trish Miller, a native Kansan, is a board-certified OB/GYN. After her experience on a medical mission in Guatemala, she began her medical career volunteering as a candy striper at the age of 15. Following she progressed through nursing school and then on to medicine. She earned her bachelor's degree in biology with an emphasis in microbiology and minor in biochemistry from Emporia State University. She attended medical school at Des Moines University in Iowa and residency with the University of Missouri in Kansas City. She was a member of the Tri Beta Honors Society during her undergraduate years and continued on to earn awards during her post-graduate and residency years. She received the "Betty Chu Award" in medical school, honoring a commitment to academics and family as well as "Consultant of the Year Award" in residency. She has published a children's book on Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder and enjoys advocating for ADD/ADHD as well as autistic children and their families. Other areas of particular interest are adolescent health, women's sexual health, domestic violence awareness/support and public awareness of local charity opportunity.

Dr. Miller has been providing coverage at Labette Health the past few months and has agreed to become a permanent member of the medical staff. "Over the past several months, I have had the great opportunity of working in this precious community. After spending time with the very talented staff at Labette Health, I have decided to stay in a more permanent fashion," stated Dr. Miller. "This community is blessed with high level care at Labette Health in both the clinic and hospital setting. I feel quite honored to become a part of this team and I thank you, Parsons, for helping me feel already at home," she continued.

Dr. Miller is practicing with Dr. Roseanne Olmstead and Stephanie M. Thompson, APRN-WHNP-BC, in Labette Health's Advanced OB/GYN Clinic. "I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Miller for the last few months. Like myself, she is a native Kansan. We have similar approaches to patient care. I believe she will be a valuable asset to the Advanced OB/GYN Clinic, Labette Health and the surrounding communities. I'm excited to welcome her to our staff," stated Dr. Olmstead.
