Caring for the residents of McLouth is important to nurse practitioner Melissa Norris. It’s in the area she’s proud to call home.
“I’m excited to work in McLouth because I live in a small town nearby,” she said. “I enjoy getting to create a bond with my patients, getting to know them and them getting to know me. That allows me to help them be healthier and gain the skills and knowledge to do that.”
Norris graduated from Wichita State University with her undergraduate degree in nursing and from Maryville University with her master of science in nursing.
She worked at Stormont Vail in the pediatric intensive care unit and pediatric behavioral health, then as a director of nursing at F.W. Huston Medical Center before joining LMH Health. Norris also continues to work alongside the team at the LMH Wound Healing Center. Her passion lies in providing primary care for patients at all ages and stages of life.
“I grew up in a small town and we only had a community hospital, so the doctors and nurses we saw there were within our community,” she said. “I’m excited to be able to offer services in McLouth so patients don’t have to drive into the city or travel far away to get care. I have the support of LMH Health, its providers and resources at my fingertips.”
