By being attentive and empathetic, I help guide patients to make informed decisions in a team-based approach.
Natalie chose the discipline of primary care because it allows her to form deep, long-term relationships with patients.
“Primary care lets me care for patients in all aspects of their lives,” she said. “It is a privilege to help patients make healthy lifestyle choices that will improve their quality of life.”
Working together with patients to come up with a care plan is important to Natalie.
“As your provider, my role is to discuss your condition with you so that we can make an informed decision together,” she said. “You will leave the appointment feeling heard and on-track with a manageable plan.”
Her Catholic faith is important to her and was a factor in her decision to practice at OSF HealthCare.
“During my clinical rotation at OSF, I was inspired by the faith-based foundation. The Mission of OSF to serve with the greatest care and love aligns with my values and goals to serve others,” Natalie said.
In her free time, Natalie likes to run and spend time with family. She frequently attends daily Mass and is involved in a Bible study group.
