Ladonna Royanne: Hello, my name is LaDonna Royanne, and healthcare has been my passion and purpose since 1998. Although I was born in Oklahoma, Alabama has always felt like home, thanks to the many trips I took here to visit my father growing up. One defining moment in my life came when I was just 13 years old, taking my very first flight. On that trip, three nurses showed me a level of kindness and compassion that changed the way I saw the world—and ultimately inspired me to pursue a lifelong career in healthcare.

Today, I am proud to serve as the Director of Office Operations at Oxford Primary Care & Weight Loss Center. In this role, I am committed to mentoring, teaching, and leading others while making sure that every patient who walks through our doors knows that their life and health are deeply valued. My goal is to combine compassion with accountability, ensuring that both our patients and our team members feel supported and cared for.

​Outside of the clinic, family is the heart of who I am. I’m blessed with five children and five grandchildren, and the love I have for my grandbabies is a joy unlike any other. When I’m not at work, you’ll often find me hunting, fishing, gazing at the night sky, or spending time with my husband—currently trying (and laughing our way through) learning how to use a duck call together. I’m also a Jeep enthusiast, so chances are you’ve seen me cruising around town in one of mine.

This community is more than where I work—it’s my home. I look forward to retiring here someday, surrounded by the people and the place that have shaped so much of who I am.



Ashley Chandler:Hello, my name is Ashley Chandler, and caring for others has been at the heart of my journey in healthcare since the day I graduated high school. Growing up with a mom who was a nurse, I witnessed firsthand the impact that compassion and dedication can have on people’s lives. Following in those footsteps felt natural, and I’ve been grateful ever since to serve in a field that brings me so much joy and purpose.


Today, I’m proud to serve as the Assistant Director at Oxford Primary Care & Weight Loss Center. In this role, I strive to make sure every patient feels truly cared for, while also supporting and uplifting the incredible team I get to work alongside each day. Helping people feel better—physically, emotionally, and even spiritually—isn’t just my career, it’s my calling.

Outside of work, my greatest blessing is my family. My husband, Zach, and I have been together since 2012, and our daughter, Macie Kate, is the light of our lives. We love spending time outdoors—hiking new trails, soaking up the sunshine, and making memories together. At home, our days are never dull thanks to our sweet dog, Willow, and our playful cat, Binx, who always keep us laughing.

I was born and raised in Cleburne County, and this community will always be home. I’m thankful every day for the opportunity to give back to the place and the people who mean the most to me.



Tess Cobb: My name is Tess Cobb, and I am a 20-year-old Virgo. I share my life with my senior dog, Arii, who holds a special place in my heart. Although I do not have children of my own, I am fortunate to be an aunt to five exceptional children who have brought immense joy into my life.

I have been employed at Oxford Primary Care and Weight Loss Center since the age of 17, and I am humbled to have experienced both personal and professional growth within this organization over the past several years. Currently, I hold the positions of Lead Lab Technician and Clinical Operations Supervisor roles that have provided me with invaluable experience and opportunities to assume responsibilities.

Outside of my professional responsibilities, I find solace in listening to music, acquiring interesting facts, and appreciating well-crafted dad jokes.



​​Dr. Paula Hunt: My name is Paula, and I am a proud mother of two, grandmother of one, and dog mom to two sweet fur babies. Family comes first to me, though I know at times my strong work ethic may make it seem otherwise. I’ve always made a conscious decision to be deeply committed both to my family and to my patients—and the hardest but most important part of that is finding balance. I never want either to feel neglected.

I’ve been in healthcare for over 25 years. My journey began as a CNA and has grown into my role today as a Nurse Practitioner with a doctorate degree. I recently celebrated two years at Oxford Primary Care & Weight Loss, and I am so thankful to be part of such a wonderful team. Caring for this community is a privilege, and my family will always look forward to taking care of yours.

Outside of work, I enjoy weight lifting, yoga, and jiujitsu with my grandson—a grandchild is truly the gift you never knew you needed. I also love spending time at home, whether it’s cooking, working around the house, or simply making it a warm and welcoming place for the people I love most.

Before joining Oxford Primary Care & Weight Loss Center, I worked at a rural health clinic where I had the privilege of caring for patients of all ages—from 2 days old to 100 years old. That experience gave me a well-rounded perspective on healthcare and reinforced my commitment to serving patients with compassion and personalized care.

​What I love most about working at Oxford Primary Care & Weight Loss Center is the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with patients while working alongside a team that is dedicated to ensuring everyone receives the care they need.

Outside of work, my greatest joy is my family. My husband and I have been married for 10 years, and together we’re raising our sweet 2-year-old. Life is busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! Whether it’s enjoying simple moments together or embracing the everyday busyness of family life, they are truly my greatest blessing.

I look forward to meeting you at Oxford Primary Care & Weight Loss Center and being a part of your healthcare journey!
