ARMING THE HOSPITAL FOR YOUR TOTAL CARE BY DWAIN HEBDA
Dr. Anthony W. Campbell GENERAL SURGEON - OZARKS HEALTHCARE GENERAL SURGERY
Dr. Anthony W. Campbell knew early on he wanted to be in medicine, just like his childhood role model. “My dad was a paramedic,” Campbell said. “When I was a little kid, he would come home and talk about the lives he’d saved, and he was recognized with awards for it. When I was 5, I wanted to do the same thing. He said I should be a doctor, and I’ve wanted to be a doctor ever since.”
Campbell, who joined Ozarks Healthcare’s surgical team in May, attended St. Louis
University where he double majored in biology and psychology. From there, he attend- ed medical school at Kansas City University followed by a fellowship at the University of Massachusetts in surgical anatomic pathology. He completed his residency at Henry Ford in Michigan. Asked why he chose the small-town atmosphere of West Plains, he said the close-knit
environment appealed to him. “I see a lot of my patients outside of work, and they’re all very appreciative,” he said.
“I’m not just treating some random person; I feel like I’m treating the community.” Away from work, Campbell likes to work out and with his wife keeps up with their three daughters, all of whom are competitive dancers.
Dr. Shannon Marsden FAMILY PRACTICE PHYSICIAN - OZARKS HEALTHCARE FAMILY CARE
Growing up in Poplar Bluff, Dr. Shannon Marsden knew she wanted to minister to others, and medicine seemed an ideal way to do it. But her decision to specialize in family medicine came as a surprise, even to her. “I’d intended to be an emergency medicine physician,” she said. “My first week of med school, my advisor told me, ‘You’re going to be a family medicine physician. It’s the only specialty where you’ll get to talk to people as much as you like to talk to people.’” Marsden earned a degree in chemistry and biology from Arkansas State University in
Jonesboro, then completed medical school at the University of Missouri in Columbia. From there, she served a three-year residency in family medicine at CoxHealth Family Medicine in Springfield. And from there, she came straight back home to join the team at Ozarks Healthcare
Family Care. “I can’t say enough good things about Ozarks Healthcare Family Care,” she said. “The
culture of the clinic is what every clinic should strive for. It’s very patient-centered. I have yet to encounter any situation where the good of the patient wasn’t the first priority. I am so impressed by that culture, and I’m excited to watch that permeate through the rest of the healthcare system.”
