Going to the doctors office can bring a general sense of unease for some that visit. Whether discussing underlying health factors or medications, regular visits to your doctor are necessary but are often avoided worrying about what it might bring. For many, it would take a lot of the stress off knowing your provider is local and listens to your every concern. Casey Dively, a Family Nurse Practitioner with HSHS Family Medicine, is working with her new patients to make them feel seen and heard. Dively talks about her background within the community and explains a little bit about herself.

Dively gives an idea as to why she wanted to make the switch from the emergency room to her current role.

With that focus on seeing the patient attain a healthier lifestyle, comes hearing the patient out on their goals and desires. Dively also talks about the changes that Family Medicine has required of her.

Dively believes in a holistic approach to well-being when at all possible.
