Nurse Practitioners
At Olive Branch Family Medical Center, we have six family nurse practitioners on our team.
Our nurse practitioners are able to care for patients by providing primary care, acute care, and specialty health care services. They are experienced caregivers who hold advanced degrees, in addition to completing extensive acute care and specialty care preparation studies.
We trust their expertise in diagnosing and treating health conditions with an added emphasis on disease prevention and health management to assess patients, order and interpret diagnostic tests, make diagnoses, initiate and manage treatment plans, and prescribe medication. On top of that, they are certified to perform DOT and non-DOT physicals.
