In Memory of Angie Lybarger

Dr. Rachael Parker, Dentist Independence HCC MO
1981-2026

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, APMHNP-BC
Concordia, MO

It is with deep sadness that HCC shares the loss of Angie Lybarger, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at our Concordia location.

 

Angie worked to break down the stigma surrounding mental health care and strongly believed that mental health deserves the same attention and care as physical health.
HCC will dedicate a behavioral health room at our Concordia Clinic in Angie’s honor. As we move through this transition, please know we are committed to supporting your care. If needed, we will reach out to you directly regarding referrals and medication needs.

 

HCC extends our thoughts and prayers to Angie’s family during this difficult time. Her obituary can be viewed here: https://www.campbell-lewis.com/obituary/angela-lybarger

 

Angie’s staff bio:

Angie Lybarger, APMHNP-BC, Advanced Practice Mental Health Nurse Practitioner – Board Certified, grew up in Marshall, Missouri and attended Missouri Valley College where she attained her Bachelor of Science in Psychology and her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She graduated with her master’s degree from Walden University in 2018.  She has worked at Fitzgibbon Hospital in the field of mental health since 2013 and provided outpatient mental health services at HHC Network Clinic in Concordia, Missouri from 2021 to 2023. She returned full time to the Concordia HHC Network Clinic in February 2025.

Lybarger has stayed close to her hometown for the duration of her career, finding purpose in providing mental health services in the rural area in which she grew up.  “I have always been drawn to helping others. Unfortunately, there is a stigma against seeking services for mental health problems,” said Lybarger. “I would like to see our community beat the stigma and take care of our mental health. Depression and anxiety are common, but few reach out for help. I don’t see searching for and receiving services as a weakness. I see it as an amazing strength. Seeking services should not be scary or avoided. I believe our mental health is just as important as our physical health. I like to think of my mental health in terms of, ‘If I don’t take care of myself, how can I care for others?’ ”

In her spare time, Angie enjoys spending time with family, including her four children, two step-children, and her husband whom she married in 2024.
