A graduate of the University of Massachusetts, Webster University and the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Lorraine chose Family Practice medicine because she wanted to care for the whole family from birth to old age. Lorraine is a big believer in helping patients achieve optimal health by promoting a healthier lifestyle. “Many patients do not realize that leading a healthy lifestyle is the best way to prevent disease,” she explains. One of the things that Lorraine enjoys the most about being a Family Nurse Practitioner is teaching patients how to take better care of themselves. When she is not busy helping patients, Lorraine enjoys hiking, walking, reading and tennis.
