Agda Hart PA-C

Agda completed her undergraduate degree at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY and her PA degree at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. She has been a practicing PA for over 35 years. She has maintained certification with the NCCPA over her entire career. She had been employed with Citrus GI since July of 2016.

She has always been an advocate of preventive medicine through out her career. In her first job as a PA, she worked in Radiation Oncology with several colorectal cancer specialists. She saw many people who were diagnosed with colorectal cancers in the days before colonoscopy was available for prevention. She feels it is especially rewarding now, to be evaluating patients and ordering endoscopic procedures that can be lifesaving. It is particularly gratifying because, in the early days of her career, her job encompassed implementing treatment plans to help patients survive advanced colorectal cancers many that can now be prevented by effective endoscopic screening. There are many noncancerous GI diseases which cause life altering discomfort. Agda feels it is a privilege to be in an occupation where her mission is to care for people. It is very rewarding to work on a team where complex diseases are diagnosed and to be able to formulate treatment plans that promote recover.
