Summit Family Practice Welcomes the Return of Mary Barrett, FNP to our Palmer Office.
Mary Barretts's Patient Care Philosophy–
I believe in working collaboratively with my patients to maximize their health and/or reducing complications from chronic illness. With my nursing background I look at the entire person and consider the person’s life situation, before making recommendations and developing a health care plan. I believe that eating nutrient dense foods, doing enjoyable exercise, getting enough sleep, and reducing stress improve our health and help prevent chronic disease. I am especially interested in nutrition and am passionate about teaching how to choose healthful foods and read and interpret the nutritional analysis on the back of boxes and cans of food. I am excited to be back at Summit Family Practice in Palmer.
