    Meet our Care First Crew at Your Hometown Health Center

    #puttingyourcarefirst

    We believe in honest hometown healthcare. For us that means making healthcare accessible, supporting our community with the options they need and treating every patient with respect and compassionate care.

  • Back when we first opened our doors, there weren't many healthcare options in the area, and there were zero urgent care clinics. Our owner, Kaela Thurman, spent the ten years prior working in emergency rooms and trauma centers. Alongside her husband, an EMT with a decade of experience of his own, the two decided to take the leap and fill the healthcare gap in the Liberty Hill area.

    What started as a dream between two emergency care providers has grown to become a home for multiple Nurse Practitioners and specialty care providers, expanding the scope of services for our patients in our not-so-little small town.

    Owner, Kaela Thurman, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

    Kaela Thurman APRN, FNP-C, graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She received her Master of Science in Nursing from Georgetown University in Washington D.C. and is certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. Kaela has worked as a Nurse Practitioner in the Emergency Room, Urgent Care, and Primary Care. She has over 10 years of experience in the Emergency Room and served as a Nursing Supervisor and Nursing Educator at a Level II Trauma Center.
