Karsyn Keepers, PA⁠–⁠C

Karsyn Keepers, PA-C, is a dedicated Physician Assistant (PA) who chose to join Essentia Health after spending the majority of her clinical training within Essentia clinics. She was drawn to Essentia because of the unmatched sense of community and support she experienced during her training, making it the best fit for her overall.

Karsyn has always been passionate about OB/GYN, and during her training to become a PA, she developed an even deeper love for the specialty. However, during her clinical training, she also developed a strong interest in family medicine due to the broad range of care it allows her to provide and the long-lasting relationships she can build with her patients.

Recognizing the need for more women's health providers she hopes to support women's health through her family medicine position. Additionally, she hopes to be part of the solution for increasing access to healthcare in rural areas. She is committed to providing patient-centered care and working with her patients to make the best decisions for their health.

Karsyn grew up in a small town in northern Wisconsin with her parents and her brother. While growing up, she often visited the Hayward community during the summer and fall. She is married to her high school sweetheart, and together they have a cat named Melody, whom they adopted a few years ago. They both enjoy spending time with family and friends and spending a warm summer day at the lake. She and her husband are very excited to join the Hayward community and experience everything it has to offer.

In her free time, Karsyn enjoys traveling, reading, writing, crafting, golfing, fishing, and hunting. She loves discovering new hobbies and exploring all the things that life has to offer.
