Alex Chenault, PA-C, is the newest addition to the primary care team at PMC – Heather Glen in Pinehurst. Pinehurst Medical Clinic is excited to welcome Chenault to the established team of eight physicians and nine advanced practice providers at this location.

Chenault earned her bachelor’s degree of science in dietetics from Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego and her master’s degree in physician assistant studies from Southern California University of Health Sciences in Whittier, CA.

Beginning her career as a clinical dietitian, Chenault enjoyed connecting with patients and collaborating with other members of their healthcare team. Wanting to expand her impact beyond nutrition, she pursued her degree in physician assistant studies to have a larger role in her patients’ healthcare journey.

With almost a decade of clinical experience, Chenault has developed a healthcare philosophy that encourages provider-patient relationships to promote a collaborative approach to satisfy her patients’ healthcare needs.

“When developing a treatment plan, I inform the patient of all available options and encourage them to play an active role in the decision-making process,” expressed Chenault in a press release. “I also place emphasis on preventative care by advocating for small and achievable lifestyle modifications.”

Chenault is joining PMC’s primary care department with 23 physicians and 27 advanced practice providers who are board-certified in internal or family medicine.
