Dr. Melissa Johnson

Managing Director.

I grew up in the heart of Southern Indiana, embracing small-town values and a strong sense of community. After moving to a bustling metropolitan city, I spent 20 years honing my skills in primary care. I am passionate about blending modern medical advancements with holistic approaches, aiming to help my patients feel their best and live their most fulfilling lives. Now, I am excited to bring the best practices and innovations from the city back to our cherished small community, enhancing the quality of care and well-being for all.

Ruth Wilkinson

PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT

I’ve been a board-certified physician assistant since 2015. In that time, I’ve worked in internal medicine, urgent care, and aesthetics. I’m excited to bring more health, wellness, and aesthetic procedures to New Day! I received my Bachelors of Science from the University of Evansville and Masters in Physician Assistant Studies from Southern Illinois University. I am very committed to continuing medical education and love attending trainings to keep my knowledge and skills sharp for my patients. When I’m not working, I am usually chasing after my 4-year-old twins or finding unnecessary projects for my husband around the house. I also enjoy exercising and keeping the Amazon delivery drivers busy. New Day Wellness is expanding services to bring the very best to our patients. Follow us on social media to stay up to date on what we have to offer!

Ann Staggs

NURSE practitioner

I have two amazing sons, Spencer who is 17, and Kellen who is 14. I also have a mini bernadoodle, Jaks. When I am not busy with my boys, I enjoy running, reading, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. I have known that I wanted to be a nurse since the age of three. No other career path had ever crossed my mind and I knew that nursing is what I have always been called to do. I graduated from the University of Southern Indiana with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1999 and my Masters of Science in Nursing with a certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2012.

While the majority of my nursing career was spent in the intensive care I also had the privilege of owning a medical spa for several years while living in Utah. I joined New Day Wellness, in April 2024. While we have all experienced, our own wellness struggles, I have grown a passion for helping people become their best selves. From weight loss, to aesthetics, to overall personal wellness, I love helping people reach their fullest potential. I want every patient that I meet to feel heard, listen to, and cared for. It is an honor and a privilege to follow along this journey with my patients. I couldn’t be more excited to continue to grow with New Day Wellness! Thank you for letting me be a part of your health journey.

Karla Thomas

OFFICE MANAGER

My role at New Day Wellness is to serve as the front desk receptionist. Reading and spending time with family and friends are two of my favorite activities. My hope is that every person who walks through our door at New Day Wellness feels comfortable and cared for. Having been on my own health and wellness journey for two and a half years, I truly enjoy being a part of our patients’ journeys as well.
