When a young Kyria Neal saw health care professionals care for her sick grandfather before he died, it inspired her to become the neuro endovascular nurse she is today.

Now the Dothan native is one of 10 health care professionals we’re celebrating as a part of the Dothan Eagle’s “Nurses: Heart of Health Care” initiative. She was excited to learn she would be highlighted during National Nurses Appreciation Week.

People are also reading… Neal graduated from Northview High School and went on to earn an associate’s degree in nursing from Wallace Community College. While inspired at a young age, Neal wasn’t certain she wanted to be a nurse in the beginning. During her time at Wallace, she went through several majors before ending up in the nursing program.

As a neuro endovascular nurse, her duties include responding to stroke patients, staying with them through computer tomography and supporting a physician if they need someone to intervene.
