Matthew McGraw is a Nurse Practitioner.
Hometown: Farmington, NM
Practice philosophy: Quality of Life is Primary
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? On September 11, 2001 I was working in Arts Administration. As the world changed, I decided to broaden my knowledge and usefulness by becoming a nurse.
What is something you have learned from your patients? Every individual defines quality of life in their own way.
What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? Advocating for diverse perspectives makes me examine my world view and define how I can help others.
What is your personal health goal? Quality of Life
What is the best thing you've done for your health or the best health advice you've received? Setting personal goals that are achievable became a reality when I completed my first Marathon. Running is hard but demonstrates how I can overcome my fears and push myself to improve.
