About
The emphasis in Courtney Ramsey's practice is to promote healthy living and disease prevention. Her goal is to teach patients the steps to take and give them the tools they need to manage their disease through lifestyle changes. She doesn't believe that anyone wants to take medication for diseases that could potentially be managed through lifestyle changes alone.
Ms. Ramsey, FNP, started out college as a dietetics major, but changed to nursing when she realized that nursing treats the entire patient and not just a part of his/her life. She was a registered nurse for 10 years with mostly intensive care unit experience when she decided to go to graduate school to become a family nurse practitioner. This career change was motivated by wanting to be able to prevent patients from getting so sick that they needed ICU care. Additionally, as a hospital nurse, you don't get to see how patients are doing after they are discharged. As an FNP, she is able to follow them across the spectrum of care.
