I have been practicing medicine for the past 45 years. I am a Certified Medical Director by the American Board of Family Practice and have worked for local skilled care facilities and hospice agencies. I have worked in many specialties as a physician, but my love lies with those who have difficulties getting good, quality healthcare due to their physical/psychological limitations. My goal is NOT to have the most patients, but to be the MOST to my patients. I will never be the biggest, but will always strive to be the best!

WHAT IS A NURSE PRACTITIONER? I am a Provider, in addition to Dr. Williams. I perform the same functions as Dr. Williams: physical exams, diagnosing, treating, prescribing, and ordering diagnostic testing. I have a Master's Degree in Nursing with additional training and education, becoming board certified as an Adult and Geriatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner.  The past 24 years in healthcare, I focused on adult and geriatric care. I enjoy finding the best treatment plan for my patients with a dash of humor...I love to see our patients smile.

I have been married for 32 years and have 3 children and 1 grandson. I have 3 parrots and 2 pitbulls. I am blessed beyond measure to be a part of the Synergy family, where I can fully use my God-given talents serving our patients, families, and caregivers.

I have been a nurse for 42 years. Visiting my grandma in a nursing home and witnessing my grandfather in hospice sparked my desire to work with the geriatric population. I never truly understood dying until those experiences and I wanted to know more, I wanted to know how I could help others understand and accept the last chapter of our stories. I hold the Synergy title of "Chief Caring Officer" due to my love of listening and helping patients and families with whatever challenges they are fighting. I am a mother and grandmother. Working with Synergy, Doc truly lets each of us shine where our passions lie. I truly feel Blessed to be a part of the Synergy team.

I have been a LPN for 11 years. My Synergy role focuses on chronic care management. I dabble in scheduling, the call center and chat line, and fix any IT issues which might arise. I am engaged and have 2 cats. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling home to the UP, hiking, and going to the beach. I am also an assistant basketball coach for a local high school team. At Synergy, we are built different. We are diverse and well-rounded. We share a deep passion for the well-being and safety of our patients, connecting with families, and facility caregivers.

I have 21 years of health care experience. I am a clinical triage registered nurse with Synergy. I am also pursuing a Masters program as a nurse practitioner. I am married with 4 children, 2 cats, and 1 dog. In my freetime, I enjoy animal rescue, reading, traveling, and being an art enthusiast. As a Synergy employee, I can work towards fulfilling my mission to pursue innovative ways of overcoming barriers to wellness potential.

I have been a nurse for 41 years working in many different specialties from the emergency room to hospice. I am currently a Patient Care Liaison, where I can enjoy uninterrupted time with my patients and families. I have been married for 39 years. My hobbies include spending time with family, gardening, fishing, and working with the PALS program. Synergy is a strong faith based practice where we can give all glory to God.

I have been a LPN working with the geriatric community in long term care settings for over 40 years. I am currently a Patient Care Liaison (PCL) with Synergy with my finger on the pulse of their healthcare needs. I have been married for 40 years and have 2 children and 3 granddaughters. My hobbies are 4-wheeling, fishing, gardening, and spending time with family. Working with Synergy Medical, I truly feel like I am making a difference in my patient's lives.

I have been a medical assistant for 12 years and working with Synergy for the past 6 years. I am a Patient Care Liaison (PCL) working directly with Synergy patients, families, and Synergy Providers. My family is my world and includes 3 children and their amazing spouses,1 grandchild, 2 step grandchildren, and a step great grandson. I love gardening, flowers, crafting, and cooking. "Everyday is a new day, one is never too old to learn more!" Working with Synergy has increased my love of advocating for our residents when they are unable to advocate for themselves. Getting to know the families and caregivers is rewarding.

I have worked in healthcare for 17 years. My focus has been on telemetry/stress testing tech and now as a pharmacy tech. I worked with Synergy providers and participating pharmacies to ensure patient medications are on point. My hobbies include fishing, gardening, skydiving, and exploring (#oldladyadventures).

I have worked in healthcare for 10 years. I was initially a PCL with Synergy, but am now in the scheduler role. I miss seeing patients in person, but enjoy ensuring patients are seen either in future visits or immediately if needed. I have been married for 6 years and have a 5 year old son and 11 year old stepson. I have 2 pitbulls. I love the bond Synergy employees have with one another. We are not just coworkers, but are truly FAMILY.

I work behind the scenes for Synergy bringing on our new patients, gathering as much information as possible. My goal is to make the transition as easy as possible for family and caregivers and take some responsibility off the shoulders of our healthcare providers. I have three kiddos - 2 boys & a little girl. Synergy allows me to work from home giving me the opportunity to spend as much time with my children as possible.
