Lori Nelson, FNP-BC
“My great-grandmother was such an inspiration growing up and I treasured spending as much time with her as possible. Her love of helping others is what inspired me to become a nurse. As my career from medical assistant to Nurse Practitioner has evolved, I have seen the challenge it can be for our older patient population to get to medical appointments. Bluestone offers a unique opportunity to see patients in their own environment so they can continue to receive quality patient centered care. I look forward to creating and building a relationship not only with my patients but with their families and loved ones.” — Lori Nelson, FNP-BC- Family Nurse Practitioner – Certified by American Nurses Credentialing Center
