Nurse Practitioner

Christina is a doctorate prepared Nurse Practitioner (DNP). Christina attended Creighton University for her doctorate degree and Bethel College in Kansas for her undergraduate degree. It is exciting to have a DNP at our practice because nurse practitioners have been proven to improve clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. With Christina’s education and experience she is exceptionally prepared in clinical care, research, healthcare policy and leadership. Nursing is based in science, but her doctorate degree built upon her foundation of science, to include the understanding that science is ever-changing and that approaches may need to change based on new developments or evidence. Christina can easily interpret new evidence to update processes and current practice as is best for our patients. She provides comprehensive, holistic, high quality, and personalized care for our patients. She always considers each patient’s personal needs, desires, and opinions when planning treatment or assisting in making decisions. She maintains a vast list of professional contacts and collaborates with other providers and an entire array of multidisciplinary team members to coordinate safe and efficient care. She and Dr. Anzalone work together on every case to ensure that our patients are taken care of.  Prior to joining CMSC, Christina worked in the Intensive Care Unit at both Parker Adventist Hospital and Wesley Medical Center.
