About The Batson Clinic

Katherine Batson is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and owner of The Batson Clinic. She is a Central Arkansas native, originally from Maumelle and now calls Little Rock home. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree at the University of Central Arkansas and went on to graduate from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences with a Master of Nursing Science degree. Katherine has always had a passion for helping people and has consistently sought out opportunities to serve others and her community.

Early in her career, Katherine worked as an RN in the Emergency Room at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and in outpatient clinics at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. There she saw first-hand how important primary care and proper health maintenance can be in preventing acute illness. Over her 12-year nursing career, Katherine has worked in a variety of settings including urgent care, correctional medicine, podiatry, pediatrics, and a skilled nursing facility. These roles have given her a vast expanse of field experience as well as the technical skills necessary to serve her patients’ primary care needs.

Katherine is passionate about identifying the root cause of health issues and addressing all underlying factors to provide well-rounded, evidence-based, and holistic care for the unique needs of each individual patient. Her motto is “people over profit” and she strives to ensure that every patient receives the personalized care they deserve.

Outside of work Katherine is married to her husband, Chase. They have two young daughters, Violet and Charlotte; a chihuahua, Robbie; and a betta fish, Don. Katherine’s life revolves around her family and she has grown this business out of immense love for her two daughters and the desire to improve primary care in the Little Rock community. Family is at the heart of The Batson Clinic, and we look forward to serving you and yours.

Lauren Schuller is a Licensed Practical Nurse and a Central Arkansas native with nearly a decade of hands-on nursing experience across a wide variety of care settings. She earned her Associate in General Studies and Certified Nursing Assistant certification from North Arkansas College, and has built her career from the ground up — starting as a CNA and working her way through progressively responsible nursing roles that have given her a deep, practical foundation in patient care.

Over the course of her career, Lauren has worked in long-term care and memory care, rehabilitation, correctional medicine, hospice, and outpatient settings. Most recently, she served as an LPN at the Low T Center in Little Rock, where she gained valuable experience in hormone therapy and wellness-focused patient care — experience that translates directly to the work we do at The Batson Clinic. She is skilled in medication administration, wound care, IV therapy, phlebotomy, EKGs, and patient monitoring, bringing a breadth of clinical experience that makes her a versatile and dependable member of our team.

Lauren is known for her compassionate, no-nonsense approach to patient care. She believes that every patient deserves to feel heard and respected, and she brings that commitment to every interaction — whether she’s assisting with a routine visit or helping a patient navigate a new care plan.

Outside of work, Lauren is a proud Little Rock local who is passionate about her community and the people in it. We are thrilled to have her as part of The Batson Clinic family.

Carrie Henderson brings over 20 years of medical operations experience to The Batson Clinic, where she serves as our Administrative Specialist. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Management, graduated Magna Cum Laude, from Central Baptist College in Conway, and an Associate of Arts in General Studies from the University of Arkansas Community College — and yes, she earned her high school diploma at Yokota High School on Yokota Air Base in Tokyo, Japan, which tells you something about the kind of well-rounded, adaptable professional she is.

Carrie’s career spans some of the most demanding environments in healthcare administration. She spent over a decade at Little Rock Hematology Oncology Associates, where she served as a physician liaison and clinic coordinator for a seven-physician oncology group — managing provider schedules, hospital credentialing, state licensure renewals, insurance authorizations for critical treatments, and the full scope of day-to-day practice operations. From there she brought that same expertise to physical therapy and chiropractic settings, where she has continued to lead billing, operations, revenue cycle management, and patient care coordination.

What makes Carrie exceptional is her rare ability to bridge the clinical and business sides of medicine. She understands what it takes to keep a practice running smoothly behind the scenes — so that providers can focus on patients, and patients can focus on getting better.

At The Batson Clinic, Carrie is the person who makes sure everything works. We are incredibly grateful to have her on our team.

When we need extra assistance, Wendy England is the warm, welcoming face you’re likely to see when you walk through our doors — and she comes to us in the most personal way possible: as the proud mother of our founder and provider, Katherine Batson.

Originally from Middlesbrough, England, Wendy made the move to the United States in 1980 to help address a critical nursing shortage and built a career in women’s health and fertility — work that required both clinical precision and genuine compassion for patients navigating some of the most meaningful moments of their lives. That same warmth and attentiveness is something she brings to every patient she greets at The Batson Clinic today.

When she’s not keeping our front desk running smoothly, Wendy stays busy with her six grandchildren, maintains a lively social circle that includes several fellow Europeans, and volunteers at the Robinson Center here in Little Rock. She is also — and we say this with great admiration — an active participant in Renaissance Faires, where she has been known to appear as a Member of the Queen’s Court or Fairy Godmother, which honestly explains a lot about how effortlessly she makes everyone feel welcome.

We may be biased, but we think she’s pretty wonderful.
