Chrissy Meoni, PA-C
Phone: 970.625.1100
Chrissy Meoni is a Board-Certified Physician Assistant. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry from University of San Diego in California. She then received her Master of Physician Assistant Studies from Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho.
Chrissy grew up in a small, Appalachian mountain town in Virginia. She has lived in Colorado since 2015 but didn’t start her journey here. Chrissy was a wilderness EMT in Montana where she treated those in difficult locations with limited access and supplies, then made the jump to the Aspen Fire department. She was with Aspen Fire for roughly 5 years then moved to Idaho to work towards her Master’s degree to become a PA. Chrissy very much enjoys cooking, mountain biking, hiking, skiing and all the things Colorado has to offer.
When asked what she would like her patients to know about her, Chrissy replied “the most important part of patient care is making a plan together. Collaborating and compromising on a patient’s care is what keeps them involved with their own health so they have more control. If a patient isn’t involved with their care, they are less inclined to follow through with what they need to stay healthy.”
