Northern Light Inland welcomes new nurse practitioner

WATERVILLE – Northern Light Inland Hospital has welcomed Stephanie Plasse, a family nurse practitioner, to Northern Light Primary Care in Oakland.
Plasse earned a doctoral degree from Quinnipiac University in North Haven, Connecticut, and an undergraduate degree from Endicott College, in Beverly, Massachusetts. She is a board-certified family nurse practitioner by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.
“I take the time to educate patients,” she said, of her patient care philosophy. “It is important for patients to understand their conditions so that we can make a management plan together. In primary care, we aim to help prevent diseases, if possible, catch other diseases early to improve prognoses, and establish an appropriate plan of care once diseases are diagnosed. Education is critical in all of these areas.”
Plasse is welcoming new patients age 17 and older. The practice is located at 74 Water St. in Oakland.
