Lisa C. Narron, FNP-C

Becoming a provider has always been a goal of mine. My nursing background in critical care, with five years of intensive care unit (ICU) experience, gave me valuable insight into how health issues can quickly become very serious. These experiences solidified my desire to transition to primary care as a provider where I can focus on prevention, early intervention, and building long-term relationships with patients. My clinical special interests include nutrition/weight management and preventive care. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, cooking, gardening, and being by the water.

Ever since I was a child, I knew I wanted to be in the medical profession. I worked as a nurse for seven years and realized I wanted to contribute more to the art of nursing and the medical profession. With the encouragement and support from my husband, I became an adult nurse practitioner. My philosophy of care can be likened unto a lighthouse and a tugboat. First and foremost, I like to portray myself as the lighthouse, one that can warn others of dangers. I like to focus on preventive care just as the lighthouse alerts passengers of the sea of possible dangers or threats. On the other hand, I often have to be the tugboat, assisting others after theyve encounter dangers (sickness, diseases, disorders). I aim to be there to help in their time of need, sickness or distress. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our children kayaking the White Oak River. I also enjoy scrapbooking and crafting.

I became a family nurse practitioner to advance my nursing practice. My approach to care is holistic and I encourage patient involvement. I enjoy ATV riding and spending time with my family.
