Headland native Haley Roberts, MD is Headland Family Medicine’s newest physician.

After graduating from Providence Christian School in Dothan, Roberts studied chemistry at Birmingham-Southern College, finishing her Bachelor of Science in 2019. She then earned her Doctor of Medicine from the UAB Heersink School of Medicine in 2023 before completing her residency at Cahaba UAB Family Medicine in 2026, serving as chief resident.

Roberts was awarded the Turner Medical Scholarship, a local scholarship that supports medical school education for MD candidates from Alabama’s Wiregrass counties. She joins her father, Niel Rasmussen, MD, at Headland.

"This feels like a full-circle moment," Roberts said. "The Wiregrass community helped make my dream of becoming a physician possible, and there is no greater privilege than returning home to care for the people and families who invested in my future."
