Anita Cochran

Anita attended the Mt. Carmel School of Nursing program in Columbus, Ohio.  Her nursing career of over 25 years has been directed by a call to the service of others. She began by serving the elderly and medically fragile then to those facing the end of life and now to the care of children and families faced with unique challenges and special needs.

Before joining the practice in 2014, she was a patient care coordinator for Heartland Hospice. She lead her home-based team to care for patients in their homes at the end of life. Through this journey in hospice, her compassionate heart grew to care for not only the patient but the patient’s family. Using a holistic approach of caring for the physical, social and spiritual needs of the patient, gave her a great foundation for the care provided at Sancta Familia Center for Integrative Medicine.

Anita was drawn to the practice after meeting Kristin and Dr. Lewis and seeing the hope and healing offered to the families by Dr. Lewis and the staff. She feels blessed to be a part of this collaborative and supportive team.

At Sancta Familia Center, Anita uses her experience of being at the bedside of patients  and management to provide patients and their families with hope and direction through their current challenges.

Karol Orsborn

Karol Orsborn joined the Sancta Familia Center in Spring 2021, serving as Patient Care Coordinator. She graduated from the Ohio State University College of Medicine in 1993 and completed her Pediatrics Residency at the former Columbus (now Nationwide) Children’s Hospital in 1996. In her early career as a pediatrician, she initially worked in primary care in Chicago and its suburbs. In 2003, she returned to Children’s Hospital in Columbus where she was blessed to serve primarily an inner-city immigrant population in their Close to Home clinics, in addition to working in Columbus Public Schools in a health education program.

Karol and her husband, Dave, made the decision for her to retire from her clinical practice and homeschool their three daughters through their high school graduations (from 2013 – 2022), which was an incredible blessing. She is thankful to again be serving in a medical clinic and appreciates the Integrative and Functional approach to medical care. She is most thankful, however, to be working in a clinic where she can speak the Name of Jesus freely, as without Him, she can do nothing. Karol loves the Lord and continues to attempt to follow Him wherever He leads her.
