Thank you, Nurse Practitioners!

Last Updated: November 18, 2024

November 10–16 is Nurse Practitioners Week. Nurse Practitioners are a critical part of our healthcare landscape—they make sure that as many residents as possible have access to a care provider.

In Virginia, we have more than 17,500 NPs, a few of whom work at RHHD! This week, we’re celebrating the following team members:

  • Tracey Avery-Geter
  • Allison Gregory
  • Christina Jennings
  • Patricia Newton
  • Gabriela Paniagua-Stolz
  • Christy Smith
  • Lisa Wiener

Clinical Health Nurse Manager Sarah Widmer says that “We are so grateful for the amazing team of Nurse Practitioners here at RHHD. They are passionate about public health, committed to high quality clinical services and incredibly caring providers. They meet each individual client where they are and provide extraordinary care, support and clinical service. Our NPs are the best!”

Our nurse practitioners have great bedside manner AND green thumbs!
