Olivia Walton, PA-C, MS
Olivia grew up in Utah and has spent a memorable portion of her life overseas working for non-profit agencies in the areas of health education and microeconomics. She lived at one time in the Andes straddling Peru and Bolivia and spent a number of years working in and around Mombassa, Kenya. This past year she was able to work with medical students in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. She is a graduate of The University of New England’s Physician Assistant Master’s Program and has been practicing in Pain Medicine and Palliative Care since 2000. Olivia has had a strong interest in the treatment of pain and suffering at end-of-life and has been honored to provide end-of-life care to our countries veteran’s here in Salt Lake City where she worked for 6 years as a founding member of the Pain Medicine and Palliative Care Service at the Veteran’s Affairs Health Care System. She has also participated in expert panels discussing the global state of hospice and palliative care for resource poor countries and vulnerable populations. Olivia joined UPAP in March 2007 taking her good friend, Al Forde’s place as the Director of Clinical Affairs.
While not working, Olivia and her dog Nelly can be found hiking in the beautiful Utah outdoors. She enjoys traveling, photography, and yoga -- and she can often be found with a fly fishing rod or golf club in hand, but claims no skill in either sport!
