Angela Thatcher is a board certified PA and the owner of Lifelong Health & Wellness. She is passionate about helping people change their lives and improve their health through sustainable weight loss.  A North Carolina native and proud Tarheel, she completed her undergraduate degree in psychology at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and later, her PA training at East Carolina University. Angela has been an active member of the Obesity Medicine Association since 2018 and completed her Certificate of Advanced Education in Obesity Medicine in 2020. 

She gets introduced by her credentials as a PA, but that doesn’t fully describe who she is and what she does in her work - Angela is an empathic listener, creative problem solver, educator, counselor, and cheerleader.  She’s best known for her smile, which is the biggest and brightest when she is laughing with her family and friends, traveling, enjoying music, exploring the great outdoors, and, perhaps most of all, celebrating her patients' successes.
