Expertise. Experience. Empathy.
Meet the PyxisCare Team.

Mindy Jones’ personal experience with a fragmented healthcare system sparked her passion to build a better way for people to navigate their complex healthcare and wellness needs.

Daily, she pairs this passion for improving lives with health industry expertise and over 20 years of senior corporate leadership including roles as managing director of a healthcare advocacy company and in the pharmaceutical industry.

Her experience cemented her belief that there was a more comprehensive “whole person” view that was not being considered by providers or the industry at large. Today, her vision of a client-centered, robust, integrated care coordination model is being realized through PyxisCare.

PyxisCare nurse-led care teams began healthcare navigation for clients in 2013. The company fills the coordination gap to ensure that the full range of client need is being met, leading to improved health and peace of mind. PyxisCare hires qualified and compassionate registered nurses to lead teams serving clients throughout Texas and in several states.

Mindy holds masters’ degrees from Purdue University and the University of Texas at Dallas. She is also a Texas Certified Guardian, a Certified Senior Advisor and serves on the Board of Directors for Texas Wall Street Women. Mindy was named a “Healthcare Hero” by the Fort Worth Business Press.

Lyndan Gann ensures seamless administrative and operational support for nursing and non-clinical staff serving clients throughout Texas and beyond. She has a passion for helping others and working behind the scenes to maximize the client experience. She also manages PyxisCare’s training and compliance standards in health information and client service. Her prior experience includes corporate executive assistant positions and business coaching.

Outside the office, Lyndan thrives as a counselor in central Texas twice a year and volunteers with the Fort Worth chapter of Polished Ministries. While she loves people and meaningful connection, she also appreciates the value of a quiet night in, cozied up with a good book, coffee in hand. A born and raised Texan, she dreams of a day when I-35 is free of construction and all cars are equipped with seat warmers.

Laura Jones’ top priority at PyxisCare is ensuring excellence in client experience and quality of service. She works to seamlessly integrate the work of clinical Nurse Client Advocates and client services coordinators to meet client needs at the appropriate level of service.  She also leads the cost mitigation and benefits/bill reconciliation practice as intermediary with insurance companies.

Her previous experience managing and administrating the activities of hospice practices provided a solid background in compassionate care in the clinical support service industry. She now workswith the PyxisCare operations manager to integrate industry-leading procedures, compliance and regulatory training into the daily practice of the care teams.

When she’s not at the helm of PyxisCare’s care and coordination, she enjoys being “La La” to her grands and great grands, celebrating her children and caring for her three pups and husband, Jim. A people person to the core, she leads with compassion and acute attention to detail, advocating with integrity day in, day out.
