Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, which has been proven effective in the treatment of opioid use disorders (OUD) and can help some people to sustain recovery.
“I did several clinicals at CareSouth and I always wanted to work here because we are able to help people who may not have access to care otherwise,” McKoy said.
McKoy will be replacing Sherry R. Causey, FNP, who retired from the Lake View office after 19 years of service.
“I just hope to bring to the Lake View community what Mrs. Sherry [Causey] brought,” “From increasing better results in people who have diabetes or hypertension to being a provider who is there for locals, I just hope to be someone who provides quality care to that community.”
McKoy said she will use all the tools in her arsenal to give patients the best health outcomes possible.
“My care style is treat everybody like they are my momma,” McKoy said.
“I’m going to do everything within my ability to take care of you.”
Outside of work, McKoy says she enjoys spending time with her family, including her children and her sisters.
