Daytha Lindburg is our Family Planning Provider and Women's Health Clinician, who has been with the Health Department for nine years this month! She provides essential services in her role, such as exams and testing, birth control methods, and treatment for infections. Beyond her clinical duties, Daytha is involved in the community by presenting on birth control and STIs and mentoring nursing students.
When asked about her favorite aspect of working for the Health Department, she emphasized the joy of helping people access necessary care in a compassionate and non-judgmental environment.
"I had worked at McPherson County Health Department one day per week for several years and was a consultant for the Saline County Health Department. When I worked with their supervising OB/GYN, Dr. Steven Sebree, the NP who had my position previously, told me more than once that when she and Dr. Sebree retired, I should take their place, which is exactly what happened. I believe Health Departments provide needed services for people who may not otherwise have access to healthcare."
Daytha explained, "I wish more people knew our Family Planning Programs have a sliding fee scale depending on the number of people in the household and annual income so that we can provide quality care at low or no cost to our clients."
Reflecting on her proudest moments, she shared how she utilizes 21 years of knowledge gained as an OB/GYN PA to deliver exceptional care. Her ability to answer patient questions and provide support showcases her dedication to their well-being.
In her personal life, Daytha is a proud "mom" to seven adorable cats with unique personalities. Outside of work, she finds joy in playing the piano and singing in the church choir, with two of her cats as companions joining her on the piano bench. Whether caring for patients or creating a harmonious home atmosphere, she embodies the spirit of dedication and compassion.
Congratulations on nine years, Daytha!
