Agnes B. Delaney, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C, has joined FirstHealth Cardiology and will serve patients in the Raeford office.

Delaney earned her Doctor of Medical Science at Southern Illinois University and her Master of Physician Assistant Studies from the University of Nebraska. Delaney’s most recent experience includes work in cardiology in the eastern part of North Carolina.

Delaney provided a statement to the press expressing her delight to join the FirstHealth Cardiology team and showcasing her eagerness to serve patients in Raeford.

“I visited this area over 10 years ago and I knew I wanted to eventually settle in the Pinehurst area. I am excited to join FirstHealth and contribute to the system’s mission and commitment to high-quality care,” Delaney said.

Delaney shared that her journey to working in health care started while working as a secretary in an intensive care unit.

“Through the expertise of the physicians and staff, critically ill patients were discharged home to their families. It was at that time I realized I wanted a career in direct patient care,” she said in a press release.

“Cardiology has always been my interest and I knew going into PA school I would pursue a career in cardiovascular medicine. I enjoy being part of a team-based approach to provide quality, accessible care to patients in the area. It is a privilege to care for patients and make some type of difference in their healthcare needs.”
