Your dedicated care team.

Sparrow’s services are facilitated by a small but effective team working to ensure every member gets the best experience.

Stephanie Fennema, PA-C

Surgical Physician Assistant - University of Alabama at Birmingham 2005

Bachelor of Science - Auburn University 2001

Stephanie has been a Physician assistant for 20 years. She started her career at UAB’s surgical PA program and has never lost her love of surgery and sutures. She has functional medicine training through the Institute for Functional Medicine and spent 9 years working alongside a functional medicine MD.

Stephanie loves to use all the tools she has gathered through traditional and functional medicine when she approaches a patient.

She has practiced for more than three years in Cardiology, Pediatrics, and Emergency Medicine. She also has additional skills in Dermatology, women's health, and hormones.

The sparrow reminds Stephanie of the love Jesus Christ has for her and she desires to promote the name of Jesus Christ in all that she does.

Stephanie loves to take care of her patients but they come second to her husband and family. When Stephanie is not at work she loves spending time with her brave husband, Mike, who continues to recover from a spinal cord injury. Stephanie loves her role as mother to 5 amazing kids, and in the tiny moments she has not taking care of her family or her patients you will probably find her exercising or in the garden.
