Marcy L. Thornton, R.N.P., M.S.N

Philosophy of Care

As a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe that a woman's physical, mental, cultural and spiritual well-being is completely interwoven. A good balance of these must be obtained to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Individualized care of my patients to help them achieve their highest level of health and well-being is my primary goal.

I realize that there are many confusing and often difficult decisions to be made in terms of dealing with your health needs and concerns. My desire is to assist you with the information and resources necessary to help you feel comfortable and confident with your decisions.

My emphasis on an individualized, whole-person approach to your health care will hopefully allow you to have a positive experience with every visit to our office.
