Amy Gallagher, AGACNP-BC

Amy Gallagher is a Board-Certified Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. She

completed her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and

then earned her Master of Science Degree from Maryville University of Saint Louis, Missouri.

She holds two national board certifications, one with the American Nurses Credentialing Center

(ANCC) as an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, and one with the American Association of Critical

Care Nurses (AACN).

Amy is a Kansas Native currently living on her family’s farm. She grew up in the beautiful

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia where she is able to bring her passion and appreciation of the

culturally diverse, equality and inclusion into her practice.

“Healthcare has been an integral part of my family’s history. I come from a large genealogy tree

of nurses. However, healthcare while growing up as an ex-pat in Saudi Arabia was not readily

available or practiced in regards to preventative medicine. I learned a great deal from my mother

as she prepared varying remedies for our disposal in the third world country.”

Amy started her nursing career while in high school, working after school as a nurses aide. She

then received her Licensed Practical Nursing certification in 1992 and spent several years

working at OSMC in Manhattan, KS. In 1996, she obtained her Associate Degree in Nursing and

spent the next 17 years working in the Critical Care Unit in Manhattan, KS. She later began

working in the Critical Care Unit and Rapid Response/Trauma team at Stormont Vail in Topeka,

KS.

As she was finishing up her Masters Degree and working the front lines of the Covid Pandemic,

her perception of healthcare changed. “It was like living in a third world country all over again.

Nationally, the healthcare system was challenged with a new paradigm of how care was

delivered and managed. The old ways no longer worked, and the new ways were questioned.”

“Standardization in traditional medicine governs people’s health. This leads to disempowerment

and overwhelm, causing patients to feel like that they don’t own their own health."

Amy brings 30 years of experience of treating chronic illness and disease to her practice. Amy’s

next step in her career is focusing on health and wellbeing. “My years of education were spent

studying and learning about disease. I want my focus to be on health, not disease."

“The insight, education, and mentorship that I have gained by working alongside Dr. Regan

Tilley at WHOLEhealth MHK this past year as a Nurse Practitioner has been enlightening and

transformative. She has a deep toolbox of remedies and vast knowledge to bring health and

wellness to the surrounding communities as a functional medicine physician.

“The future’s healthcare is progressively moving towards multi-modality clinics and I am

grateful to have the opportunity to serve in this capacity. Everyone is unique when it comes to

their healthcare needs, and here at WHOLEhealth MHK, we are able to serve in this capacity, without

constraint, to promote sustained wellness. bring greater balance, ease, and flow to the patient.
