Richard does great job, gives plenty of time and communicates well. He has earned my trust. I know he actually cares about me, I don’t feel like a patient more like a friend. Keep this guy in the house.

Richard Young, APRN, graduated from Bethel College in St. Paul, MN, with a Bachelor’s in Nursing. After graduation, he became a commissioned officer in the US Public Health Service. He was subsequently deployed to provide nursing care to federal prison inmates in Rochester, MN, and also to Alaska Natives in Kotzebue, Alaska. While working in the small rural hospital above the Arctic Circle in Northwestern Alaska, that Rich discovered his passion for the nurse practitioner role. Due to the isolation of the hospital in rural Alaska, he was required to work in several different nursing roles, including pediatric nursing, ER nursing, medevac nursing, med-surgical and obstetrical nursing. Rich enrolled in the Family Nurse Practitioner program at the University of New Mexico, graduating in 1998 with a Master of Science in Nursing. Rich believes the most important skill of a family nurse practitioner is to be an excellent listener who helps to facilitate the development of the FNP and patient relationship which is the heart of Primary Care. Rich brings a lot of experience in family practice medicine such as chronic conditions management including diabetes, high blood pressure, and asthma.
