Biography

Dr. Mangus enjoys taking care of people of all ages, from babies to the elderly. She finds it especially rewarding to take care of OB patients,  guiding and caring for families as they grow.

From a young age, Dr. Mangus knew she wanted to be a doctor. Growing up, she watched her mother (recently-retired BCHC physician assistant Jacquie Brugman) devote a lot of time to taking care of patients, and she saw how fulfilling this was for both the patients and her mother. Her decision to be a doctor was solidified after job shadowing other Boone County Health Center Providers.

Dr. Mangus also was inspired by seeing the positive impact providers have on their patients and families and decided to devote herself to caring for others as well. She is honored and excited to care for patients at Boone County Health Center to give back to the community she loves.

In her spare time, Dr. Mangus enjoys spending time with her husband, their daughter, dog, friends, and family. She also loves fishing and is very happy to be back around Albion to have more opportunities to enjoy this pastime!
