Kala DeHaan-Hill, owner of Pink Link Medical, has been in the healthcare field for more than 20 years. After graduating from UT Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas, she began her career as a Registered Nurse working in Labor and Delivery. Kala then earned her Master of Science Degree (MS) as a Women’s Health Certified Nurse Practitioner (WHCNP) from Texas Woman’s University and advanced her experince working for several medical groups.
But Kala was feeling restricted in taking care of her patients. She did not feel 15 minutes was enough time to fully listen and evaluate patient concerns. Kala felt traditional medicine concentrated more on “fixing” the symptoms instead of taking care of the underlying problem.
“Personally, I have battled several health issues; PCOS, hypothyroidism, Ehler Danlos Syndrome (connective tissue disease), POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia, etc.) I felt frustrated with a short 15 minute visit, being shuffled from one doctor to the next, and feeling like I wasn’t being heard. I wanted to figure out a way to change this for the practice members I treat.”
After receiving her advanced hormone certification, Kala started her own practice geared specifically towards hormone imbalances. This led to the opening of Pink Link Medical in 2014. Over the years, Kala realizes how a functional approach allows her to truly help her practice members heal by treating them holistically and empowering them to take control of their lives.
“I am incredibly passionate about the work I do at Pink Link Medical and being able to really listen to what people are saying. It’s an honor and a blessing to help people become empowered; and not a victim to the traditional healthcare system.”
