A Conversation With Chelsea
Why did you choose the Family Health Clinic, and what do you like about working here?
I wanted to start taking care of patients more long term and develop a relationship with them. I am from a small community, and I wanted to be able to provide care to rural areas.
What do you most like about working at The Family Health Clinic?
I absolutely love all of my co-workers. I remember applying for this position, and I was interviewed by Yadira and Jean. After the interview, I called my husband and said “I feel like I belong here, it feels like a family.”
I also am looking forward to continuing to provide to a vast population of patients and help improve their lifestyle.
What is your favorite part of being a Nurse Practitioner?
Developing relationships with patients and seeing them improve their health.
Why do you think the Family Health Clinic is important to the local community?
Everyone who works at the Family Health Clinic has a passion for their patients. The patients trust their providers and have a good relationship with them. There are also so many resources that are available.
What is your specialty, and what made you choose that specialty?
Family – I enjoy seeing all populations. Each population is interesting, and there is always something to learn.
Is there anything else you’d like to share?
I have been married to my husband, James, for 8 years. We were high school sweethearts. I have three daughters, ages 4, 2, and 8 months. I love football, the outdoors, and gardening.
