π Thursday Provider Spotlight: Meet Andy Wagoner, FNP-C! π
This week, we're introducing Andy, FNP-C! With more than 12 years of clinical experience in cardiology, emergency medicine, orthopedics, general surgery, wound care, long-term care, substance use disorder, and mental health, Andy is passionate about providing patient-centered care and helping patients live healthier lives.
π What made you decide to pursue a career in healthcare?
"In my early 20s, I lived with a family whose father had end-stage Parkinson's disease. He required around-the-clock care, and through that experience, I discovered that caring for others is one of my greatest passions in life."
π©Ί What's your favorite part of your day as a provider?
"My favorite part of being a provider is seeing a diagnosis come to fruition and watching patients experience symptom reliefβespecially when their concerns may have been overlooked or not fully addressed in the past."
π‘ What's one thing you wish every patient knew before coming to their appointment?
"The basics really do matter. Eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, staying hydrated, and getting enough sleep are all essential to maintaining a good quality of life."
π What's your favorite way to relax outside of work?
"I enjoy hiking, spending time in the river, building a new LEGO set, and practicing on my drum set."
We're proud to have Andy on the MVA team, where he takes a patient-centered approach and works alongside each patient to develop the best plan of care.
