Columbus Community Hospital welcomes Kaitlyn Cattau, PA-C, as the newest orthopedic physician assistant on its medical staff. She joins the team at Columbus Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Clinic and brings 10 years of health care experience — including seven years as a physician assistant in orthopedics. Her background has given her a strong foundation in acute injury management, fracture care and complex surgical cases. Cattau is dedicated to helping patients recover and return to the activities they enjoy, and she is well-prepared to care for people of all ages who have orthopedic needs.

Cattau received her Bachelor of Arts in biology health professions from Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln, Nebraska. She then earned her Master of Physician Assistant Studies from Union College, also in Lincoln. She is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) and has a passion for providing compassionate, patient-centered care.
