Kelly Wade is a nurse at Ethnē Health. She is originally from Atlanta and received her BSN in Nursing from Georgia Southern University. With a background of volunteering in Clarkston in various ways, she felt called to be part of Ethnē’s work in the community upon hearing the clinic was looking for a nurse. She has been working at Ethnē for two and a half years, although she knows one of the founding providers and has supported the clinic since its beginning. Prior to Ethnē, she was a Piedmont Hospital nurse and Pediatrician Office nurse, while raising three children. 

For her, one of the highlights of working in the Clarkston community is learning about the cultures of other staff and patients. Serving in Clarkston has only broadened her worldview by giving her a greater view of God’s church with many nations coming together, and she loves the community. Her best days at Ethnē include getting to connect with patients, fellowshipping with the staff, and eating good food. 

Outside of work, she loves reading, doing puzzles, going to the beach, and hanging out with friends.
