This May, MAPA is proud to recognize Slava White, PA-C for her decades of dedication to patients and her community.
A graduate of Wichita State University (1991), Slava has spent her entire career practicing rural family medicine, bringing compassionate, patient-centered care to generations of families. For 35 years, she has had the unique privilege of serving the same community, building lasting relationships grounded in trust, respect, and continuity of care.
Slava approaches medicine with a simple but powerful philosophy: we are all doing our best every day. She believes every patient deserves to be heard and respected, and she prioritizes listening to their stories, concerns, and fears. This commitment has made her not only a provider, but a trusted partner in her patients’ lives.
Outside of work, Slava embraces the outdoors through hiking, running, and gardening. She’s an avid reader across genres and loves traveling to explore the beauty of our country and the world. As she begins to wind down her remarkable career, she is looking forward to her newest and most cherished role, being a grandparent.
Thank you, Slava, for your years of service, compassion, and the lasting impact you’ve made on your patients and the PA profession.
