Stephanie Anderson, ND, PPNP-BC

I was born and raised in the Bay Area in California. I decided to become a nurse like my mother and graduated in 1990 with my BSN. I  quickly found out that I wanted to do more, so I went to graduate school at Rush University in Chicago and obtained a doctorate in Nursing while my husband was working on his graduate degrees.  I started out practicing as an Adult nurse practitioner, then realized about 20 years ago that I really wanted to help children.  In all I have been a Nurse Practitioner for over 30 years.  I am fully dedicated to helping children attain the best health possible. My various jobs in healthcare over the years, including working at major healthcare systems in Chicago Illinois, Ann Arbor Michigan and then here in the Atlanta area, have enriched my knowledge, made me highly versatile and offered me comprehensive understanding of child health issues. Having two children of my own, I understand how paramount it is to keep your little ones healthy, not just physically but mentally as well. This parental instinct intensifies my professional commitment towards improving children's health and advocating for them whenever and wherever needed.  Whether it’s addressing their immediate medical needs, guiding them in maintaining a healthy lifestyle or teaching them about prevention, my primary goal is to make a lasting impact on the child’s well-being.
