Sarah

Sarah Fitzpatrick, CFNP

I am an AANP board certified Family Nurse Practitioner. My main goal as a nurse practitioner is community outreach, providing education and care in health promotion, preventative treatment, and management of chronic disease with a holistic approach. I feel that patients and families deserve the care of someone who will treat them like family.

I have a background as a registered nurse in both acute care and outpatient setting for 12 years. I have a strong background in traditional medicine and am constantly studying more about naturopath therapies as a way to bridge the two worlds together. I expanded my education in 2019 and became certified as a family nurse practitioner.

I am also an RYT-200 yoga therapist. I have been teaching yoga for 7 years. I am resident of Oxford and am vested in my community. My children attend Oxford schools, and my husband has been on the local fire department for over 15 years. My hobbies include family, yoga, reading, outdoor activities, gardening.
