Our Wellness Mission

Cheri was actually one of our long-time patients before becoming a full time employee in 2012. As a patient, she discovered a passion for health and wellness that led her to becoming an integral part of our team. Cheri wears many hats as our Office Manager. She is often behind the scenes communicating with our team to make sure everything is running smoothly. She loves getting to know our patients as she assists at the Front Desk and scribes for the doctors. Her favorite part of working at VFC is the camaraderie between patients and staff.

Cheri received her Bachelor of Arts in Theology from Valparaiso University in 2008. She has been married to Patrick since 2009, and they have one kitty, Teal, who is Cheri’s best bud. She enjoys strength training, ringing handbells, singing with local women’s ensemble Bel Canto, and puzzles. Her ideal vacation is relaxing on a beach or discovering a new city’s foodie hot-spots.

A St. Louis native, Abby earned her Bachelors of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from University of MO in Columbia in 2012. She also has a Certificate of Multicultural Studies and has visited 9 countries. Abby joined the front desk team in 2013. She is currently our Patient Coordinator and Front Desk Manager. She is a super multi-tasker, helping to help keep the office running smoothly! 

Abby is passionate about seeing peoples’ lives change through the care provided in our office. She is easy to talk to and quickly gets to know each of our patients as she welcomes them to our practice family.

Abby has a huge passion for traveling the world. She studied abroad in South Korea and backpacked around Europe for 3 weeks--in which she checked at least 4 items off of her bucket list, including touring a different continent and completing a solo backpack trip! She loves cuddling her kitty, Mr. Darcy and dog, Maisie, and finding new hiking spots around Missouri. Fun Fact: Abby is Cheri’s sister-in-law! Cheri is married to Abby’s brother, Patrick.
