Beth Thurman, WHNP
Beth believes every woman has value and every woman has a story. She also believes a woman’s health status greatly impacts her story. As a women’s health nurse practitioner, Beth uses a holistic, individualized, and evidenced-based approach that begins with taking time to truly listen to her patients. She collaborates with physicians to provide care for women throughout their lifespan and holds special interests in wellness, adolescents, and obstetrics.
Prior to her current role, Beth worked as a registered nurse for many years, six of which were on a labor and delivery unit. She is happiest reading, chasing her two boys, volunteering at her church and her children’s school, and spending time with family and friends – bonus points if that time is outdoors! She feels her role as a wife and mother, combined with her nursing experience, affords a unique perspective on women’s care and is honored to share a part in women’s stories.
