On choosing Amberwell Health…

“I choose Amberwell because I am drawn to the unique aspects of healthcare in smaller communities,” said Elizabeth. “During my clinicals, I was able to work in less urban areas, and I found great appreciation for the strong sense of community in rural healthcare. The familiarity among residents and the opportunity to develop personal connections with my patients are aspects that greatly appeal to me.”

On choosing to become a healthcare provider…

“My biggest inspiration for pursuing healthcare was my mom, who is a nurse,” said Elizabeth. “I had originally considered becoming a court reporter, but then I thought about how good it feels to help people and decided to go into nursing instead.”

On her patient’s experience…

“I treat my patients with the same care and consideration I would give to my own family,” said Elizabeth. “It’s important for me to stay informed and up to date in the medical field. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment, where patients feel comfortable sharing their concerns and needs. My goal is to advocate for their preferences, educate them in their own terms, and ensure they have a clear understanding of their healthcare options.”
