Loudonville, OH – Nurse practitioner Sarah Smith is bringing more than 20 years of experience in holistic healthcare to Pomerene Family Care in Loudonville. Smith has a diverse background that includes pediatrics, women's health, massage therapy, healing touch, fitness and nutrition. She will work alongside fellow nurse practitioner Debra Lewis to meet the need for a well-rounded family practice within the community. “I have always enjoyed health and wellness and problem solving within that umbrella,” Smith said. “I had an amazing clientele base with my holistic practice. That encouraged me to become a family practitioner, because I was an advocate for patient care – physically, mentally and spiritually.” Smith earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Ashland University and her Master of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University. Along with her staff, she sees her role as building a trusting relationship with patients by communicating openly, listening to their concerns, and offering the best clinical evidence and resources available for their health. By equipping individuals with health information and education, she hopes to improve overall well-being in the community. “We enjoy our jobs,” she said. “Our patients trust us with not only their healthcare but also with sharing their sorrows and happiness. We become extended family members in a sense, and it is quite an honor!” Smith stays busy on a small farm with her husband and children, where they strive to make choices that support a healthy lifestyle. “There is no such thing as perfection,” she said. “It’s about the willingness to take the first steps at making better decisions.” Pomerene Family Care in Loudonville is currently accepting patients.
