Rebecca Anderson, DNP, APRN

Practice philosophy: My practice will focus on providing holistic and patient-centered care, with a special emphasis on preventive health. I am dedicated to forming strong relationships with patients and supporting them in reaching their health goals through informed decision-making.

What are you passionate about and why? I am passionate about family, they are my greatest legacy.

If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? Game show host, specifically The Price is Right

Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? Working as a Nurse I learned I wanted to form deeper connections with patients. I remember researching the role of a Nurse Practitioner in high school and knowing what I wanted to be "when I grew up."

What is something you have learned from your patients? I have learned many things from patient encounters. The biggest takeaway has been how much knowledge each person has to share. It's amazing what you will learn about life and even medicine from them.

What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? I enjoy balancing being available for last minute needs while also having a full schedule. Providing timely care is important in healthcare as a persons health can change within minutes.

What is your personal health goal? To continue moving- going for walks, exercising, or cleaning the house. Movement is medicine.

What is the best thing you've done for your health or the best health advice you've received? Do everything in moderation. There is no perfect recipe to life. Even the healthiest people can develop medical conditions. So, enjoy that piece of chocolate, but also care for yourself along the way.

What are you most proud of? The relationships I have formed along the way. Old friends, new friends, professional relationships, reconnecting with family etc., that's what fills my cup.
