Meet Brandee Newsom, APRN
Nurse Practitioner
Most of my patients are worried about the risks of diabetes in pregnancy and have many questions. ‘Do I have to have a C-section? Will my baby be born with diabetes? Will I have to take insulin the rest of my life?’ Since we have longer than usual appointments, I enjoy that I can spend so much time answering their questions and reassuring them.
Along with her passion for helping women with diabetes, Brandee volunteers her time to women and communities in need. Today, she’s interested in various medical missions and helping people in low-income countries. In her free time, Brandee enjoys traveling and going on adventures with family and friends.
