Ashley Wright, MPAS, PA-C

Maternal Health Policy & Parent Advocate

Ashley completed most of her training in Arizona. She completed her Bachelor's Degree at the University of Arizona (Go Wildcats!) in Tucson, Arizona where she truly fell in love with medicine and graduated Physician Assistant school from Northern Arizona University as Class President. Upon completion of graduate school, she moved to Florida and worked in Orthopedic Trauma/Joint and Spine Surgery for several years and then wanted to expand her work as a PA. She completed an Emergency Medicine Fellowship for PA and NPs with the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine in Minnesota. She has been working in Emergency Medicine in Florida ever since and has also worked in PA education.

Over the course of almost 10 years in medicine she has held the hand of several women suffering severe loss & pain during pregnancy and postpartum. It was only until she became a mother herself to two beautiful little girls that she truly learned the trauma and injustice that women experience as patients in our healthcare system. Her own birth trauma and story has lead her to pledge a life to advocating and hoping to change policy for a better world for mothers and women to live in.
