Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare (GVMH) is continuing to strengthen healthcare services across the region with the addition of three new providers, expanding both orthopedic care in Clinton and primary care access in Osceola.
GVMH announced that Graham Bellamy, PA-C, has joined its Orthopedics team. A Clinton native and the son of Dr. Brian and Marnie Bellamy, Bellamy is returning home to provide care to patients in his hometown and surrounding communities.
He earned a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas, and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry from William Jewell College in Liberty. His training includes procedures such as suturing, incision and drainage, fracture casting and reductions, and intubation. During surgical rotations, he assisted with open, laparoscopic and robotic procedures.
Bellamy will work alongside orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Womack, helping evaluate and treat patients, assist in procedures, develop treatment plans and provide patient education.
GVMH is also welcoming Ashtyn Howard, PA-C to its Orthopedics team, further enhancing patient care in the department.
Howard earned a Master of Medical Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Lincoln Memorial University in Knoxville, Tennessee, and a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with a minor in Sociology from the University of Missouri in Columbia. She also holds certificates in Multicultural Studies, Medical Science and Human Biology.
Her clinical background includes experience as an Ophthalmic Technician with Missouri Retina Consultants and service at MU Health Care. She completed clinical rotations in Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine and has participated in research focused on cardiomyopathy and tumor growth mechanisms, with presentations at university research forums.
In her role, Howard will assist with patient evaluations, support orthopedic procedures, collaborate on treatment plans and provide patient education.
“We are excited to welcome Graham and Ashtyn to our Orthopedics team,” said Taylor Elwell, Executive Director of Clinic Services at GVMH. “Both bring strong clinical backgrounds and a passion for patient care that will greatly benefit our patients and community.”
In addition to expanding orthopedic services, GVMH announced that Sierra Cameron, RN, FNP, has joined the Osceola Clinic as a Family Nurse Practitioner.
Cameron brings more than four years of experience across multiple healthcare settings, including family practice, gastroenterology, hematology/oncology and rural health clinics. She will provide comprehensive primary care for individuals and families in Osceola and the surrounding area.
She earned a Master of Science in Nursing from Rockhurst University in Kansas City, along with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Rasmussen College and a Bachelor of Science in Health Studies from the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg.
“We are excited to welcome Sierra to GVMH and our Osceola Clinic,” Elwell said. “Her extensive clinical experience, advanced training and dedication to patient-centered care make her a valuable addition to our team.”
With these additions, GVMH continues its commitment to delivering high-quality, accessible healthcare throughout west-central Missouri.
