Our Team

Patrice Miller Shaw, DNP, APRN, FNP-C

Doctorally Prepared Nurse Practitioner

My passion for health care extends beyond diagnoses and treatment plans. In my daily interactions with patients, I see the whole person, which is a hallmark for health care at Legacy. I continually prioritize building strong patient-provider relationships, recognizing the health and wellness needs of both my patients and their families. More than 15 years of experience has taught me that open communication and a patient’s active participation in their own health care plan significantly increases the likelihood of a patient attaining their health care goals and improving their overall health and wellness.

Working with older adults is a joy. As a nurse practitioner, I am educated and trained to diagnose, treat and manage acute and chronic diseases, prescribe medications and make patient referrals. I am passionate about meeting each patient where they are and fostering hope for better health through chronic disease management, preventive care, and attention to additional factors that may need to be addressed, like behavioral health care, nutrition and social services. Some of my areas of specialty include diabetes, hypertension, mental health, obesity, preventive care and weight loss.

As my patients’ primary care provider, I am committed to providing the best possible care to help ensure their healthiest tomorrow.
