Patrice (Patti) Augustyniak , MSN, APRN, FNP-C
With more than 30 years of experience in healthcare, Patrice (Patti) is passionate about providing personalized, compassionate care that focuses on the whole person β not just the diagnosis. Patti's experience includes working as a medical assistant, massage therapist, registered nurse in progressive care, intensive care, perioperative care and ultimately as a nurse practitioner in family medicine/primary care. These experiences have given Patti a broad perspective on healthcare and a deep appreciation for the importance of listening to patients and understanding their individual needs.
Patti is especially passionate about preventive healthcare, women's health and men's health, with an emphasis on building long-term relationships with patients and helping them take an active role in their health. Patti believes great healthcare should be personalized, collaborative and centered around prevention whenever possible.
Outside of the office, family is at the heart of Patti's life. She has been married to her husband, Mark, for 25 years, and together they have three children and five grandchildren. They are also a family of animal lovers, sharing their home with a naughty blue heeler, Pluto, and two cats, Oliver and Princess Consuela Banana Hammock.
When not caring for patients, you'll likely find Patti enjoying a good romance or murder mystery, having a family game night, spending time with family or embracing her love for all things pink/sparkly! As is obvious from her cat's name above, she is also an avid Friends fan.
Patti is honored to care for the community she calls home and looks forward to building meaningful, lasting relationships with her patients and their families.
