Mary chose to work at OSF HealthCare because her values align with our Mission of serving patients with the greatest care and love. She became a family nurse practitioner because she wanted to care for patients no matter what life stage they’re in. She also hopes that her patients will bring their entire family to her practice and receive the compassionate, evidence-based care they deserve.

“During an appointment, I will make patients feel comfortable and at ease so they can have an honest discussion about their health concerns without fear of judgement,” she said. “I pride myself on being a provider that I would want for my family and loved ones, and I guide patients in every possible way to help them achieve their health goals or retain the highest level of health possible no matter what stage of life they’re in.”

Mary was born and raised in Nevada and moved to Illinois in 2008. She and her husband have six children and two pets. In their free time, they enjoy playing board games, such as Catan.
