Paola Mora, APRN, FNP-C

Practice philosophy: My practice philosophy centers on compassionate, patient-centered care that supports each individual's journey toward improved health and wellness. My goal is to empower patients by providing education, resources, and personalized care plans that foster sustainable lifestyle changes. In all interactions, I strive to create a nonjudgmental, respectful environment where patients feel supported, understood, and motivated to achieve their health goals. 

If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? A travel photographer.

Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? I became a provider because I find fulfillment in building relationships with my patients and helping them achieve better health. I knew this was the career for me since high school.

What is something you have learned from your patients? I've learned from my patients that flexibility is key. Each patient brings unique challenges, and sometimes the best approach is to adjust to their specific needs. 

What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? Supporting patients during difficult times is challenging but deeply fulfilling. It requires a lot of emotional resilience, but being there for them, makes me feel like I am truly making a difference.

What is your personal health goal? To maintain a balanced approach to wellness: exercise daily, healthy eating, and time for self care.

What is the best thing you've done for your health or the best health advice you've received? Daily exercise is the best thing I've done for my health. It helps me feel energized, reduces stress, and helps me feel stronger and more balanced every day. 

What are you most proud of? I'm most proud of my commitment to lifelong learning. I love expanding my knowledge so I can provide the best care possible.
