Hannah Boehler, DO, MS

Hello! My name is Hannah Boehler (pronounced like Baylor University, even though it doesn’t look like it). I was born in Little Rock, AR, and returned there for high school after spending eight years of my childhood in Yekaterinburg, Russia, as a missionary with my family. Growing up in another culture gave me a unique worldview, which was further widened as I continued doing missions in South America throughout high school.

I attended Ouachita Baptist University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and Biology and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish, with the goal of becoming a physician and serving in rural communities across the globe. Little did I know that upon meeting my husband, Gary, in my final year of college, I would discover a passion for serving the rural community in my own backyard here in the south. With this new mission in mind, I went on to attend the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine at Arkansas State University.

During my time in medical school, in addition to my doctorate, I received a Master’s in Academic Medicine by spending a full year teaching preclinical medical students, taking courses on medical education development, and performing research. It was during this year that I fell in love with Family Medicine. I had enjoyed all of my specialty rotations, but what I was most excited about was sitting down to talk with a patient, answering any questions they have, and making a plan together. As I searched for a residency program where I could truly become the best physician I could be, CoxHealth became the clear choice. I am so blessed to be on this team!
