As a certified pediatric nurse practitioner, I know how to optimize children’s health outcomes to promote growth and development. I strive to maintain holistic and healthy relationships with children, families and communities.”
A pediatric nurse since 1979, Debra is an expert in caring for children. Her goal is to provide every child with comprehensive, high-quality, holistic care.
In addition to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Deborah also has a Pediatric Mental Health certificate, enabling her to effectively serve children who have pediatric behavioral and mental health concerns.
“I have always been able to connect with children,” she said. “And I have a gift for communicating with parents and children so that they can easily understand the medical information they are getting.”
Born in Silver City, New Mexico, Deborah has traveled extensively, having also lived in Denver, Indianapolis, Park Forest, Illinois and Mount Prospect, Illinois, where she now lives with her family.
