Ruihai Zhou, MD

I have always been passionate about patient education and helping patient achieve their health goals. While working in the hospital, I noticed a lack of health literacy in the patient population I was working with. As a nurse practitioner, I can serve as a primary source to help patients improve their health and access to care. My model of patient care is patient-centered care, which means having the patient serve as an equal partner in developing personalized goals for their care plan. My particular interest in healthcare includes primary prevention and womens health. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three boys, traveling, and enjoying any outdoor activity.

When I was was senior in high school, my stepfather had a medical emergency and I always wanted to be able to do more to help him-- this started my interest in medicine. Being a physician provides me the opportunity to help others and to build strong relationships with people. I have now been practicing Family Medicine for over 25 years. I enjoy getting to know patients and their families and working together with patients to help them achieve their health goals. I have a special interest in working with older adults. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and being outdoors and hiking.
