ANDREA L. STIRGUS, D.O.
Family Medicine
Dr. Andrea L. Stirgus earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Xavier University of Louisiana in 2009 before attending a pre-health program at Southern Illinois University. She graduated with a doctorate in osteopathic medicine from Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2017. After completing her residency at Summa Health Family Medicine Center in Akron, Ohio, she received specialized training in geriatric medicine during her fellowship.
Dr. Stirgus began working with seniors in 2009 as a certified nursing assistant and worked in health care roles as often as her studies allowed before her residency. Before joining Primary Care Plus, she treated acute and chronic patient conditions in an underserved, urban population with a focus on older patients at the Summa Health Family Medicine Center.
Dr. Stirgus is board-certified in family medicine and board-eligible in geriatric medicine. She has been a member of the American Osteopathic Association since 2013, American Geriatric Society since 2015, and the Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine since 2020. During her time with Summa Health, she was awarded the Family Medicine Leadership Award and Geriatric Fellow of the Year award.
