Meet Ivana, Our New Nurse Practitioner! 🌟

We are excited to introduce Ivana, our newest addition to the team as a part-time Nurse Practitioner! 🎉

Ivana brings a passion for caring for children, along with compassion and dedication to the families she serves. We’re thrilled to have her join us in providing excellent care to your children!

HI EVERYONE! I’m Ivana, and I’m so excited and incredibly grateful to be joining Next Step!

Caring for children has always been a passion of mine, and I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to care for families through so many important milestones.

One of the most meaningful experiences of my career was studying abroad in Peru, where I volunteered in a medical clinic serving an underserved community and spent time caring for children at a local orphanage. That experience reminded me just how much compassionate healthcare can impact a child’s life and that every child deserves to feel valued.

My goal is to create a welcoming environment where families feel safe, comfortable, and confident in the care they receive. I believe building strong relationships with families is just as important as providing great care.

I can’t wait to meet you and your little ones!
