A graduate of the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Lauren enjoys educating patients and teaching them about disease prevention and processes. Lauren decided to become an advanced practitioner after working as a nurse for three years. “As an advanced practitioner I can have more responsibility with patients and continue to learn,” she explains. Lauren works with patients who are being treated at Saint Vincent Hospital, often those who are being treated for cardiac issues. “Coming from a nursing background, I believe in providing holistic care, whether treating an illness or helping a patient prevent disease.” During her free time Lauren enjoys the outdoors, especially hiking in the local mountains. She also likes traveling and exploring new places.
