PITTSBURG, Kan., Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Dermatology Partners is expanding access to dermatology care in Southeast Kansas with the addition of Certified Nurse Practitioner Jenna King, MSN, APRN-C, to its Pittsburg clinic. A Southeast Kansas native, King returns to her home region after three years providing dermatologic care at U.S. Dermatology Partners offices in Oklahoma.

King is now accepting new patients at the Pittsburg clinic, located at 2401 S. Tucker St., Suite 6, offering additional appointment availability for patients seeking treatment for a wide range of skin conditions, including acne, eczema and psoriasis, as well as cosmetic dermatology services.

King brings three years of dermatology experience from U.S. Dermatology Partners in Oklahoma, where she practiced under the supervision of board-certified dermatologist Sara Metcalf, MD.

"It was a privilege working alongside Jenna," said Dr. Metcalf. "I witnessed firsthand her wisdom, compassion and integrity as she thoughtfully considered each patient's situation to provide top-notch, individualized care. She has a beautiful balance of confidence and humility."

King began her healthcare career as a registered nurse in family practice before discovering her passion for dermatology while earning her Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University.
