Meet Dr. Sowers
Meet Dr. Mackenzie Sowers
Some people find their calling. Dr. Mackenzie Sowers has been living hers for as long as we can tell, and we are so glad that path brought her to Nurture Pediatrics.
We are excited to welcome Dr. Sowers to our team this fall, and we have a feeling this introduction is one you will be glad you read.
Dr. Sowers earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Alabama, where she was already making her mark long before she set foot in a medical school classroom. She served as president of Alpha Epsilon Delta, co-led The Society of Women in Medicine, and poured her time into community organizations focused on children and families. The thread running through all of it is advocacy, service, and a genuine investment in the people around her. That did not start in residency. It started here, and it has never stopped.
She went on to earn her Doctor of Medicine from UAB Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine in Birmingham, where she served on the Admissions Committee, mentored third-year medical students, and volunteered at the Equal Access Birmingham clinic. She was not just training to be a physician. She was already being one. She completed her pediatric residency at Children's Health in Dallas, Texas, one of the leading children's health systems in the country, and brought every bit of that experience with her when she walked through our doors.
What sets Dr. Sowers apart is not just what she has accomplished on paper. It is how long she has been in and around patient care. Before and throughout her training, she worked as a Clinical Assistant at Children's of Alabama supporting specialty outpatient clinics, and as a Nurse Assistant in the perioperative department at William Beaumont Hospital. She understands what families go through when their child is sick, scared, or just needs someone to slow down and actually listen. That perspective is rare, and it shows in the way she works.
Dr. Sowers is committed to building real relationships with her patients and their families, providing care that is thoughtful, thorough, and centered on the whole child. She is not here to rush through a checklist. She is here to be a partner in your child's health for the long haul.
We are so proud to have her on the Nurture Pediatrics team, and we know your family is going to feel it from the very first visit.
