Molly Annette Simmons Joins CHI Saint Joseph Medical Group – Orthopedics in Somerset, Saint Joseph London

LONDON, Ky. (August 4, 2020) – Molly Annette Simmons, APRN-C, has joined CHI Saint Joseph Medical Group – Orthopedics in Somerset and Saint Joseph London as a certified nurse practitioner. Simmons’ work ethic is driven by her faith, family-oriented lifestyle and widespread experience.

“I have been a nurse for 30 years now,” said Simmons. “Since I was a child, I have always wanted to help people. I’ve done a little bit of everything throughout the years, from neurosurgery to family practice, but returning to orthopedics feels like a homecoming. I’m familiar working in the field, and I really enjoy it.”

Simmons received her Bachelor of Science in nursing (BSN) from Eastern Kentucky University and her Master of Science in nursing (MSN) as a family nurse practitioner from Western Kentucky University. She is board certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and is licensed by the Kentucky Board of Nursing.

Simmons’ career began at Saint Joseph Hospital in Lexington, where she worked as a nurse in orthopedics and neurology. From there, she relocated to serving in the emergency department of facilities in Richmond and Louisville. For nine years, Simmons taught nursing at Somerset Community College before deciding to return to school to receive her MSN. Although she enjoys teaching students, her true passion lies within the clinical side of nursing.

Originally from Hindman in Knott County, Simmons keeps family as her top priority, including her three sisters, a brother, nieces and nephews. Her husband, Joseph, is a minister and teaches science at Nancy Elementary in Pulaski County. As self-proclaimed animal lovers, together they have three dogs that are rescues.

“I knew when coming to CHI Saint Joseph Medical Group – Orthopedics in Somerset and Saint Joseph London, that God was opening a door for me,” said Simmons. “From a spiritual standpoint, I was directed to this job.”
