Dr. Myers is the visionary founder of Myers Surgical Associates, the only minority-owned healthcare facility in the Wabash Valley. Since arriving in Terre Haute, Indiana in 2019, Dr. Myers has worked tirelessly to uplift and serve her community through innovation, compassion, and leadership.

In 2020, Dr. Myers made history by becoming the first minority woman elected to a countywide office in Vigo County when she assumed the role of County Coroner. During her tenure, she collaborated with local government officials to establish Vigo County’s first and only standalone morgue—an enduring resource for the community.

Dr. Myers is a Distinguished Fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons and board-certified in General Surgery. She is the only physician in Terre Haute to hold this distinguished status. A graduate of Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, where she earned her degree in Chemistry, she received her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1999. She completed her surgical residency in Illinois, followed by an advanced fellowship in laparoscopic surgery. She remains the only fellowship-trained female general surgeon in the region in this specialty.

Dr. Myers performs a wide range of procedures, including minimally invasive surgeries and complex cases using the da Vinci® robotic-assisted surgical system. Her expertise allows patients to experience smaller incisions, faster recovery times, and reduced complications. Beyond the operating room, Dr. Myers is an active leader and advocate in both professional and community settings. She serves as a Medical Board Advisor for the Wabash Valley Breast Cancer Survivors, a board member of the Providence Health Board, and has previously held leadership roles with the Minority Health Coalition of Terre Haute, the League of Women Voters, and the Vigo-Parke-Vermillion Medical Society. She is a member of the Commission on Physician Assistance within the Indiana State Medical Association and has served multiple times as a delegate for the state. Additionally, she is a former Chair of the Black Business Alliance and a former board member of the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce.

Dr. Myers’ contributions have earned widespread recognition. In 2022, she was named one of Terre Haute Living’s Women in Business and became the first solo minority to be featured on the magazine’s cover. In 2023, she was selected as a Nexstar National Remarkable Women Finalist, representing the Wabash Valley—one of just 112 women nationwide. In 2024, she was honored as a Volunteer Nominee at the Hamilton Center’s annual awards ceremony and received a ” Hidden Figures Award” from Saint John MBC. Most recently, Dr. Myers was selected as the recipient of the 2025 AOA Mosaic Award.
