Patient care is a work of the heart. It is individualized and encompasses mind, body and spirit. We should strive to change lives for the better. Care involves the patient and their support system.

Nurse Practitioner Melinda joined the UCHealth Neurology team at Memorial in Colorado Springs.

She believes that patient care is a work of the heart, as it is individualized and encompasses mind, body and spirit.  Her care philosophy involves the patient and their support system. “Now as a Nurse Practitioner I want to continue caring for these patients and make an even greater impact,” she said.

Clinical interest for patients

I find treating patients with neurological disorders both rewarding and interesting. I have always been interested in neurology. As a nurse I worked with a stroke and neurology team on a critical care step down unit. Now as a Nurse Practitioner I want to continue caring for these patients and make an even greater impact.
