Hello!! My name is Mary Berry. I am a adult geriatric primary care nurse practitioner. I began my career in 2003 as a licensed practical nurse and worked for 7 years, later returned for my registered nursing degree in 2010. I then pursued my BSN and then my MSN. I did home care for 12 years and then became clinical manager. I missed patient care so I decided to pursue my nurse practitioner degree. I have worked as a nurse practitioner doing wound care consults, disability assessments, and primary care for assisted living facilities. The motivation behind my own practice is to set aside using the same protocols for each patient and individualize care to achieve the best outcome. For me it is about treating each person as a individual versus treating everyone medically the same. I look forward to serving my rural community and the opportunity that this brings.
