Dr. Swagerty completed her undergraduate, medical school, and family medicine residency at the University of Kansas. She is board-certified in family medicine, and while she enjoys all aspects of the field, she has a particular passion for women’s health.  

“The great thing about family medicine is that I care for the whole family. I watch kids grow into teenagers, and then, as they become young adults, I’m already a familiar and trusted figure when they need assistance,” she explained. “I enjoy working in areas like sports medicine, preventive health, geriatric care, and managing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension to help people live their best lives. But women’s health has always been a special interest of mine – contraception, IUDs, Nexplanon.”  

Dr. Swagerty will split her week working in Fort Scott and Pleasanton. She is eager to integrate herself into the community.   

“I’m looking forward to getting to know the community and understanding its needs,” she said. “I’m excited to take care of the whole family.”
