New Provider Spotlight – Andrea Ward

UIHS CommunicationsAll News

We are pleased to announce our New Family Nurse Practitioner to our Village – A message from Andrea Ward, FNP-C 

I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Andrea Ward and I am an FNP. I have 8 years’ experience in Family Practice and have worked at MRCH and Open Door locally. I also completed a residency program in the Central Valley prior to moving up here. As an RN before becoming an NP, I worked in psych and pediatric home health working with children who had disabilities. I practice Family Medicine, but I also have a passion for Women’s Health and am trained in IUDs, Nexplanon and all other birth controls. Please, keep this in mind if you have any patients who may want an IUD or any patients that may prefer a female for their annuals/pap exams. I do not see OB. 

On a personal level I am originally from Seattle but did all my nursing training at the University of Hawaii. I have two young children, a 3-year-old and 9-month-old, both boys. My husband grew up here in Humboldt in Trinidad and we love this area. We also love dogs and have two Pugs and an Elk Hound. I am so happy to be here and excited to start building connections with my co-workers and patients!
