Allison is a Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer (RDMS) and ARDM registered in OB/GYN. She was born and grew up here in Fort Wayne, attending New Haven High School and later graduating with honors from Jackson College. Calling herself a very family oriented person, Allison has four siblings: three sisters, one brother; as well as countless nieces and nephews.

She married her high school sweetheart, Levy and together they lead the middle school youth ministry program at their church, Grace Gathering. Levy is currently in graduate school earning his master’s degree in Physiology.

Allison and Levy have three beautiful daughters. Their oldest is Emberleigh, who was born in December of 2016. Estelle and Elise were born in November of 2017 and March of 2020, respectively.

“I am so thankful to be working with the staff and providers at Fertility and Midwifery Care Center! I absolutely love my job! I look forward to continue meeting new patients, and helping existing patients on their OB and Fertility journey!”

As a certified public accountant, Allyson (or as her friends call her, Ally) has found a home at Fertility and Midwifery Care Center and Holy Family Birth Center where her career and passion for family have merged.  Her main focus is on the financial management and strategic longevity of the practices so that countless more women can continue to experience the unique care provided by FMCC and HFBC.

Allyson grew up in the small town of Edgerton, Ohio with her two older siblings and moved to Fort Wayne in 2007 to attend college.  She graduated in 2011 with Highest Distinction from Indiana University and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Business with a major in Accounting and a minor in Communication Studies.  After college, she worked for Baden Gage & Schroeder, a local CPA firm, working for the audit team and had her first experience collaborating directly with the health care industry.  Allyson and her husband, Braden, met in Fort Wayne and married in 2014.  Even though she enjoyed her time at the firm, Allyson felt the need for a better work-life balance as they were expecting their first son, Braxxon, in 2016 and transitioned to a financial manager role at a Berkshire Hathaway-owned malpractice insurance company, MedPro Group.  Their second son, Bryson, was born in 2019, unfortunately just a few weeks shy of the grand opening for the birth center!  Even though the boys are complete opposite personalities, they’re best friends already.  In their free time, they’re making memories with family and friends, visiting the zoo, watching Notre Dame football, or baking in the kitchen.  Allyson also enjoys reading books but admits she hasn’t had much time for this lately.

2020 has been a year of discernment for Allyson to focus on what truly brings joy to her life, follow her passion, and use her skillset to serve the greater mission of FMCC and HFBC.  She feels very blessed to be able to join the team.

“It’s amazing to see God’s will for our lives develop in unexpected ways when we follow his call, as unconventional as the path or decision may appear.  What initially started out as a patient relationship has formed into a personal connection to the success of FMCC and HFBC so that others can feel the same compassion and renewed sense of hope that Braden and I felt from Dr. Stroud, his fellow providers, and all the staff while navigating our journey to parenthood back in 2015.”

Andreya graduated from nursing school at Indiana University Bloomington in 2016. Following graduation, she began her career at Dupont Hospital in Labor and Delivery. While working at Dupont, Andreya got to know our providers and saw firsthand the care and passion our team provides for our patients. That lead her to begin working as a Birth Assistant at the Holy Family Birth Center when it opened in May 2019, and later as a full-time employee at FMCC in November of 2019. Andreya and her husband Mitch, who is a teacher in Angola, are excited about the arrival of their twins later this year. They live north of Fort Wayne with their black lab, Renley. They enjoy traveling and camping, and they can’t wait to become parents to their twins.

Angela, the newest member of our laboratory team at FMCC, was born and raised here in Fort Wayne. She graduated from Homestead High School, after which she attended Ivy Tech Community College obtaining an Associate’s degree in Health Science along with a CNA Certification and Phlebotomy license. Before working at FMCC, she worked as a CNA in an Assisted Living Facility for persons with Dementia and it was there that she met her fiancé. Angela worked as a phlebotomist at Lutheran and Parkview Hospitals for three years before becoming part of the FMCC team. Angela plans on going back to school to further her education in the medical field at some point in the future.

“I'm very dedicated to my work and love helping patients. I feel blessed to work with so many people at the Fertility and Midwifery Care Center who share my passion for helping others.”
