Shanna Dierker, A.P.R.N., FNP-BC

My philosophy of care in telehealth focuses on building meaningful relationships with my patients by truly getting to know them. I believe in establishing rapport with them to help create a sense of trust and understanding.

Working in telehealth allows me to meet people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, which I find rewarding. I am passionate about helping others, as even small acts of care can make a significant difference in their lives. I believe in making healthcare easily accessible to everyone. The opportunity to make a positive impact, whether big or small, is what I find most fulfilling in my role.

I had an early fascination with health care, sparked by childhood experiences playing with stethoscopes. This interest evolved into a passion as I gained hands-on experience in critical care, cardiac care, advanced heart failure and electrophysiology throughout my career. My participation in numerous medical trips provided me with a broader perspective on health care.
