MONMOUTH — DFD Russell Medical Centers has announced the addition of family nurse practitioner Leah Hebert to its Monmouth location. Hebert brings a wealth of patient care experience to the DFD team, according to a news release from the medical group.
Hebert earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Maine in Augusta with a focus on mental health. She completed the Options Program at the University of Southern Maine to earn a master’s as a family nurse practitioner. A nationally certified nurse practitioner with the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and an advanced practice registered nurse, she has a background in mental health, rehabilitation, long-term care, and rural family medicine.
“My philosophy is to treat the whole person, not just the numbers,” said Hebert. “The patient and I are a team and I want to make sure that they feel heard. I want to give them the knowledge they desire to live happy, healthy, and full lives, and the tools to feel confident in their health.”
Hebert’s specialties include pediatrics, women’s health, and preventative medicine with an emphasis on nutrition and fitness. She is Nexplanon and Mirena certified, and is skilled in performing many minor in-office surgeries such as joint injections, biopsies, and other skin care procedures.
Hebert comes to DFD after years practicing at a Federally Qualified Health Center in Orangeburg and Spartanburg, S.C. Before that she practiced in Bangor.
