Nurse Practitioner Brittany Howe meets with patients scheduled for surgery, performing history and physicals, while working closely with anesthesia, surgeons, and primary care providers to make sure all necessary testing is completed and followed up on prior to a patient’s scheduled surgical procedure. Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, she worked for 11 years as a registered nurse in surgery departments for Riverwood Healthcare Center and another local hospital.
Personal philosophy/approach to medical care: “My philosophy in life and at work, is to treat and care for others in the manner I would want for myself. I treat every patient I care for with kindness and compassion; I thoughtfully listen to everything they tell me, so I’m able to offer them the most holistic care possible.”
