Karolyn Grafel grew up in rural Kansas and Nebraska. Technically she is from Culbertson, Nebraska as that’s where she went to high school and her family still lives there. Karolyn attended College of Saint Mary in Omaha, NE, then went to the University Northern Colorado in Greeley to finish her prerequisites for PA school. She finished she attended PA school at Methodist University in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
When she was young, her mom went to school and became a PA so she was always familiar with the profession but wasn’t interested in it until later. She initially got a degree in Health Information Management because she wanted to work in a healthcare setting. Shortly after starting her first job she realized that she wanted to have a more direct impact on patients so she went back to school and became a PA. During her general surgery rotation at Southeastern Surgical Center in Lumberton, NC they created a position for Karolyn as their first general surgery PA. She stayed for almost three years. From there she went to Columbia, SC and worked in trauma/acute care surgery at Palmetto Health (now Prisma Health). After six years living in the she became homesick for the Midwest and convinced her husband to move to Colorado to be closer to family and today both he and her husband, Dean work at Panorama together and when they are not working they are camping with friends and family (and their two dogs), working on DIY projects on thier house, listening to live music, snowboarding, and hiking.
