Sheree Blankenship, WHNP

I found my passion in medicine, and since then I have truly enjoyed my profession and having the ability to help others. My philosophy of care is to promise patients that I will take care of them to the best of my ability, without prejudice, and with respect. To explore treatment options based on each individual and to make decisions together. It is my duty to be a patient advocate, and in return, the greatest gift that a patient can provide is to bestow their trust in me as a physician.When Im not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and four kids, hiking and cooking. If you cant find me, Im either delivering a baby, on the soccer field with my kids or out enjoying photography.

I chose to become a physician assistant in obstetrics and gynecology because I support women and advocate for their needs throughout important milestones in their lives. I enjoy making patients feel empowered and educated so we can work together to improve their health. I value shared decision making with patients and the relationships that are created along the way. Prior to coming to UNC, I worked in a family planning clinic in Los Angeles, CA. In my free time, I enjoy exploring North Carolina with my husband and dog, hiking, and running.
